In 1865, \u00c9douard Ren\u00e9 de Laboulaye, a French politician, suggested creating a gift to celebrate America\u2019s commitment to liberty after the Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>He envisioned something grand that would symbolize freedom and democracy.<\/p>\n<p>To bring this idea to life, he chose sculptor Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Auguste Bartholdi, who was known for his monumental works. Bartholdi imagined a colossal figure of a woman holding a torch high in the air, guiding people toward freedom.<\/p>\n<p>He began by making small models to refine the design, experimenting with her pose, face, and details like her crown and torch.<\/p>\n<p>These early models were crafted in his Parisian studio, where he worked tirelessly to perfect her form.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23875\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23875\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23875 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-02.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-02-356x475.jpg 356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23875\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scale model of the statue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Statue\u2019s Parts on Display at the 1878 Paris World\u2019s Fair<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23885\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23885\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23885 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-11.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-11-383x475.jpg 383w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23885\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Display at the Champs de Mars, Paris, 1878<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-12.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-12-475x335.jpg 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 1878, parts of the Statue of Liberty were proudly exhibited at the Paris World\u2019s Fair (<em>Exposition Universelle<\/em>). At this event, Bartholdi showcased key elements of the statue to generate excitement and support for the project.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors were amazed by the colossal scale of these pieces, which included the head and the torch-bearing arm.<\/p>\n<p>The head, displayed in a garden, allowed Parisians and international visitors to walk up close and admire the intricate details of Lady Liberty\u2019s face. The torch was also prominently displayed, giving viewers a sense of the statue\u2019s size and the craftsmanship involved.<\/p>\n<p>This partial display was a smart move by Bartholdi. It not only demonstrated the progress of the project but also helped secure funding and build anticipation for the final assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The 1878 exhibition gave the public a glimpse of what would soon become a global icon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Parisian Workshop<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-03.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-03-386x475.jpg 386w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-04.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-04-324x475.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once the design was finalized, the real work started at the Gaget, Gauthier &amp; Co. workshop in Paris. This was no ordinary workshop\u2014it was a massive space designed for large-scale projects.<\/p>\n<p>The artisans began by creating wooden molds of the statue\u2019s various sections. Sheets of copper, chosen for its durability and flexibility, were then hammered into these molds. It was a process called repouss\u00e9, where the copper was shaped from the inside out. Workers used mallets and chisels to carefully craft each piece of the statue\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n<p>Each copper sheet was unique and had to fit perfectly with the others. The artisans worked on everything from her flowing robe to the spikes of her crown. The workshop was buzzing with activity as dozens of workers brought Lady Liberty to life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-06.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-06-475x327.jpg 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23889\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-13.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-13-475x324.jpg 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Framework by Gustave Eiffel<\/h2>\n<p>The statue\u2019s copper skin was beautiful but fragile. It needed a strong internal structure to hold it up and protect it from wind and weather. Gustave Eiffel, already known for his work on the Eiffel Tower, was hired to solve this challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Eiffel\u2019s team designed a flexible iron framework that could support the statue while allowing the copper skin to expand and contract with changes in temperature. This innovative design was revolutionary at the time. He used iron beams and a series of metal supports that connected to the copper panels, creating a structure that was both sturdy and lightweight.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Eiffel\u2019s engineering genius, Lady Liberty could withstand the harsh conditions of New York Harbor. Without his framework, the statue would not have been possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Assembling the Statue in Paris<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23881\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"434\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-07.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-07-271x475.jpg 271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23882\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"458\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-08.jpg 458w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-08-286x475.jpg 286w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23883\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"516\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-09.jpg 516w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-09-306x475.jpg 306w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23884\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-10.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-10-217x475.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-14.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/statue-liberty-14-465x475.jpg 465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before the statue was sent to America, it had to be fully assembled in Paris to ensure that every piece fit together perfectly.
