  10. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the designer of the Statue of Liberty 1834.4.2-1904.10.4

  11. The Statue of Liberty In the mid-1870s, French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was working on an enormous project called Liberty Enlightening the World, a monument celebrating US Independence and France-America alliance. At the same time, he was in love with a woman whom he had met in Canada. His mother could not approve of her son ’s affection for a woman she had never met, but Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876.

  12. That same year Bartholdi had assembled the statue’s right arm and torch, and displayed them in Philadelphia. It is said that he had used his wife’s arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the state. He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength, someone more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother.

  13. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on an island in Upper New York Bay in 1886. It had his mother’s face and his wife’s body, but Bartholdi called it “my daughter, Liberty”.
