The Statue of Liberty: 

 New York Harbor 



This statue is often called "liberty enlight- 

 ening the world." It stands on an island near 

 the entrance to New York Harbor. Strangers 

 coming to live in our country watch eagerly for 

 this statue. It was given to us by the French 

 people, and is the work of a French artist. 



In her right hand the figure of liberty holds 

 a torch. The torch is higher up than many a 

 tall church steeple. The statue itself is so large 

 that all the pupils in your room could stand in- 

 side the head at once. Each hand is sixteen feet 

 long, with fingers eight feet in length. How 

 high would a finger reach in your school-room ? 

 Each eye is two and one-half feet from corner to 

 corner. 



To visit the statue you ride across New York 

 Harbor to the island in a small steamboat. In- 

 side the statue there is an elevator which will 

 carry you to the top, or you can climb up by 

 stairways. At the top you look out from the head 

 at all the wonders of New York Harbor. 



This shows you how liberty looks at night, 

 flood-lighted by powerful searchlights, so she can 

 be seen far out at sea.
