- Synopsis
- The Statue of Liberty has been a symbol of US democratic ideals since 1886. Based on extensive research including travels to France where Liberty Enlightening the World was created, an independent scholar chronicles the story behind its conception, construction, and gifting to the US in the wake of the Civil War. Khan showcases sculptor Auguste Bertholdi, engineer Gustave Eiffel, poet Emma Lazarus, and fundraiser/publisher Joseph Pulitzer, among the many individuals involved. The book features new details about Liberty's design and b&w images. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
