A Blast From The Past: Unveiling the Enigmatic Tales Behind These Haunting Photographs
Monumental Craft: The Dawning of Lady Liberty

It wasn’t long before this emblem of liberty completed its eight-year journey from conception to completion, enduring a transatlantic voyage aboard a French Navy ship.

When Liberty finally raised her torch, she was greeted by a million pairs of eyes, witnessing the birth of a new era.
