The
Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté
éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty
Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The
copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the
United States, was
designed
by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave
Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The
Statue of Liberty is a robed female figure representing Libertas, the
Roman goddess. She holds a torch above her head, and in her left arm
carries a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) inscribed "July
4, 1776", the date of the American Declaration of Independence.
A broken chain lies at her feet.
The
statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a
welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.

Bartholdi
was inspired by French law professor and politician Édouard René de
Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument
raised to American independence would properly be a joint project of
the French and American peoples. Due to the post-war instability in
France, work on the
statue
did not commence until the early 1870s. In 1875, Laboulaye proposed
that the French finance the statue and the Americans would provide
the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the
torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these
pieces were exhibited for publicity at international expositions.
The
torch-bearing arm was displayed at the Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia in 1876, and in Madison Square Park in Manhattan from
1876 to 1882. Fundraising proved difficult, especially for the
Americans, and by 1885 work on the pedestal was threatened due to
lack of funds. Publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World
started a drive for donations to complete the project that attracted
more than 120,000 contributors, most of whom gave less than a dollar.
The statue was constructed in France, shipped overseas in crates, and
assembled on the completed pedestal on what was then called Bedloe's
Island. The statue's completion was marked by New York's first
ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by
President Grover Cleveland.
The
statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until
1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933 it has been
maintained by the National Park Service. Public
access
to the balcony surrounding the torch has been barred for safety
reasons since 1916.
Short
Decode exposes the Statue of Liberty as a Male instead of a Female
figure. Follow the numbers and there is no doubts in my mind that the
Statue is that of a Man. The statue appears to me to have male like
attributes so why give the statue female status???
