Statue Of Liberty: New York Landmark
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most, well-loved New York Attractions. The statue was designed by a young French sculptor who dreamt of building a statue like that of the great Colossus that once stood at the Greek island, Rhodes.
The statue’s face was modelled after his mother’s and the story goes that the body was modelled after a prostitute. The crown of Lady Liberty, as the statue is often affectionately called, has seven spikes, symbolizing the Seven Seas across which liberty should be spread. In her left hand she holds a tablet with the Declaration of Independence and in her right hand a torch, symbolizing Enlightenment.
