Statue of Liberty, A French Giant

A superstructure that revolutionized its time Erected over a century ago on a small island in the Bay of New York, the Statue of Liberty attracts over 4 million visitors every year. The “lady who lights up the world” is a formidable concentrate of innovation. A colossus of such height, never built before, required a treasure trove of engineering. A true technological feat, this humongous project was perfectly in tune with its time, an era defined by a race for progress.
