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.
自由女神像（自由启发世界;法语：LaLibertééclairantle monde）是一个巨大的新古典主义的雕塑在自由岛在纽约港在纽约市，在美国。铜雕像，从法国人民给美国人民的礼物，是由法国雕塑家弗雷德里克·奥古斯特·巴特霍尔蒂设计的，由古斯塔夫·埃菲尔建造。这座雕像是1886年10月28日。
自由女神像是代表自由女神的罗布女性形象，罗马女神。她在她的头上方拿着一个火炬，在她的左臂携带一个tabula ansata（一个触动法律的平板），题为“1776年7月4日”，美国独立宣言的日期。断链位于她的脚。雕像成为自由和美国的象征，并且是从国外到达的移民的一个欢迎的景象。
Bartholdi的灵感来自法国法学教授和政治家ÉdouardRenéde Laboulaye，据说他在1865年评论说，任何纪念碑提出美国独立将适当地是法国和美国人民的联合项目。由于法国战后的不稳定，对雕像的工作直到19世纪70年代初才开始。 1875年，Laboulaye提议法国财政的雕像
和美国人将提供现场和建立基座。 Bartholdi在雕像完全设计之前完成了头部和手电筒支撑臂，这些作品在国际展览会上展出宣传。
火炬支撑臂展示在1876年在费城百年博览会和在曼哈顿的麦迪逊广场公园从1876年到1882年。募捐证明是困难的，特别是对美国人，并在1885年工作的基座受到威胁，由于缺乏资金。纽约世界的出版商约瑟夫·普利策开始了捐款的驱动，完成该项目，吸引了超过12万贡献者，其中大多数给不到一美元。雕像在法国建造，在板条箱被运输到海外，并且在完成的垫座上被装配在什么当时称为Bedloe的海岛。该雕像的完成标志着纽约的第一个记号带阅兵和由格罗弗·克利夫兰总统主持的奉献仪式。
雕像由美国灯塔董事会管理直到1901年，然后由战争部;自1933年以来它一直由国家公园管理局维护。自1916年以来，由于安全原因，火炬周围的阳台的公共通道已被禁止。
