The statue was a 100th anniversary gift from France to America in recognition of the friendship established between the nations during the American Revolution. Named "La liberté éclairant le monde" (Liberty Enlightening the World) by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the statue commemorates the late 18th century struggles of both nations in gaining liberty by fighting off monarchy. FOOTNOTE on the timetable: The original plan was to have the statue completed by 1876, in time for the centennial celebration of the America's Declaration of Independence. Lack of funds delayed the completion and dedication until 1886.
