English presentation

3. The Statue of Liberty was built in France
between 1875 and 1884. It was disassembled
and shipped to New York City in 1885. The
statue was reassembled on Liberty Island in
1886, although the torch has been redesigned
or restored several times since its installation.

4. In 1865, a French political intellectual and activist
named Edoudard de Laboulaye proposed that a statue
representing liberty be built for the United States. This
monument would honor the United States' centennial
of independence and its friendship with France.
French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi supported de
Laboulaye's idea and, in 1870, began designing the
Statue of Liberty.

5. The Statue of Liberty was built
using two primary materials:
copper and iron. These materials
were chosen not only for their
aesthetic qualities but also for
their durability and resistance.

6. The Statue of Liberty is mostly made of
copper, which doesn't turn green unless
heavily exposed to water and air. So when
the statue first arrived in 1886, she was
still a dull brown color, like a penny. It took
about 25-30 years for her to turn
completely green.
