Initial Draft of the Statue of Liberty

Discussing the history of building the Statue of Liberty can not be separated from the creator who is very phenomenal. He is named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and is a French citizen. Since childhood, Bartholdi is very fond of the art world, he had a profession of painters at a very young age. To express his fiery artistic soul, he succeeded in making many statues. One of the hard work Bartholdi did when he was 18 years old.

As he grew older, he joined the Franco-Prussian War. In this war he got the idea to make a sculpture themed freedom. Finally the idea to make the Statue of Liberty is created. The starting location to be used for the establishment is not American. Bartholdi, who was exploring Egypt and seeing the Sphinx dream of establishing his grandest statue in the Suez Canal.

Heavy Fundraising

The fundraiser for the Statue of Liberty is very difficult. In fact, arguably a very impossible project. Bartholdi tried in his own strength to influence many people in France. He moves from office to office to collect even the smallest amount of money. Spicy criticism by many in France.

Nevertheless he still run this big mission. He asked for a lot of donations, eventually collecting about 250,000 francs (equivalent to $ 750,000) in 1879. From here he began to build many parts of the statue for having gained considerable amounts of money.

The Making of the Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty was made in France in 1876. Bartholi used all his abilities to make this great sculpture. The basic design of the statue is made of Gustav Eiffel metal-metal which has managed to make the Eiffel Tower stand upright. From these powerful metals, Bartholdi began to coat some parts with stones and began to carve them in accordance with the designs that had been made.

For about 8 years he struggled alone. When there was an exhibition he participated and showed his statue that was almost finished. From this exhibition he earns a lot of money to be used to complete this phenomenal project. Finally in 1884, the Statue of Liberty which is a symbol of the god of freedom Libertas successfully completed very perfectly.

Fundraising in the United States

Most people only know if the Statue of Liberty is given by France to America as a gift. In principle it is almost right. The statue is made by French citizens and some funds are collected from donors. This is done because the French government does not approve this project until the funds never go out. Moreover, this statue takes a lot of cost.

When the Statue of Liberty will be completed, Bartholdi wants to ask people in America to help him. Mainly for completion and also shipping. The cost required quite a lot, and this is rejected by the American government. They can not understand why just a bunch of rocks can have a very expensive price.

Finally there was a journalist named Joseph Putlizer who had a brilliant idea. He wrote an article that influenced citizens in America to donate. Uniquely, everyone who donates, his name will appear in the newspaper. This strategy succeeds and is able to make the Statue of Liberty sailing away from France to America.

The establishment of the Goddess of Liberty in the Land of America

After a year of fundraising, finally in 1885 the Statue of Liberty was brought from France to America. This statue weighs tens of thousands of tons until it takes a long time to transport it. In America itself, the welcome of this statue is done with a large scale. Many New Yorkers are willing to help in this project to be able to immediately see the statue is very grand.

The arrangement of the Statue of Liberty goes on for quite a while. From start to finish the arranged takes about 6 months. Finally on October 25, 1886 the statue was able to stand upright. In fact, the day after it was declared a national holiday. Many people from all over the United States witnessed Lady Liberty standing firmly as a symbol of freedom in America.
