130th Anniversary of France delivering the Statue of Liberty to the United States
Nearly
130 years ago, France gifted the U.S. with one of the most prolific symbols of
freedom the world over. Since then, it has welcomed millions of people
searching for a new life on unfamiliar shores.
Today, the
Statue of Liberty is more than just a symbol of solidarity. It’s a reminder
that all countries thrive on the exchange of ideas and culture. The
National Park Service's dedication to maintaining and restoring the statue
ensures that message will live on.
Though the statue was actually shipped in separate pieces and then assembled upon delivery, we've drawn a more playful take on the occasion by portraying Lady Liberty crossing the Atlantic fully constructed on a steamer much too small for her.
