EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an elevation sketch for the pedestal of the iconic Statue of Liberty in New York. Created by Bartholdi, Frederic Auguste, a renowned French sculptor, this pen and ink drawing measures 89x57 cm and is part of a private collection. The sketch was sent to Richard Morris Hunt, the architect responsible for designing the pedestal. It offers a glimpse into Bartholdi's design ideas for this monumental structure that would become one of America's most cherished symbols. Intricate details are visible in this neoclassical masterpiece as it portrays the grandeur and scale of Lady Liberty herself. The statue stands tall on top of a pyramidal plinth with stepped elevations leading up to her majestic figure. This sketch captures not only the technical aspects but also conveys the allegorical significance behind the Statue of Liberty. With its outstretched arm holding a torch high above her head, she represents freedom and enlightenment. Dating back to 1882 during America's Gilded Age, this drawing serves as an important historical artifact from that era. It exemplifies both French craftsmanship and American ambition as they collaborated to create an enduring symbol that welcomes immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. Overall, this elevation sketch provides us with insight into the meticulous planning involved in constructing such an iconic landmark while reminding us of its profound symbolism within American history.
