The view from below is what sets this picture apart: the torch and head of the statue fill the frame as they rise against the sky, with the copper figure foreshortened sharply from the base. Dedicated on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in 1886, the statue was a gift from the people of France, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi with its iron framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel. Photographs taken from this angle show how the sculpture was built to be read from the water, where most arriving immigrants first saw it. The torch was replaced during a 1980s restoration, so the copper surfaces you see today reflect that later work.
