1876 - Colossal hand and torch Liberty

1876 - Colossal hand and torch "Liberty"

The French planned for the statue to be completed and presented to the United States on July 4, 1876, but a late start and subsequent delays prevented it. However, by that time the right arm and torch were completed. This part of the statue was displayed at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, where visitors were charged 50 cents to climb the ladder to the balcony. The money raised this way was used to start funding the pedestal. [source: wiki]
