Hmmmm. A French artist made the statue, right after they helped us defeat the British ,in the war of independence . Lady Liberty as she was named is really made of copper. Copper corodes after being in the weather for so long . The tablet she is holding represents a book with all the names of those who died for our liberty the torch is lighting the way for those who seek liberty. It might mean something else for you , but to all who were born in the USA thats what the statue is . And to set you straight the Romans tore up and set fire to all the cities and structures when they took the regions for the Empire of Rome. You know a computer is only as smart ,as the one who is behind the keyboard lets it be. And they are right that is his mothers face on the statue, because he had to change the face because he didn't want the statue to be recognized for evil , everything is different right down to the the book she carries ( it's in the opposite hand ) , that has always been the debate but if people do there home work before inserting a foot in there mouth , we could get along alot better.

Your information is all wrong
Her real name is Liberty Enlightening the World
Her face is that of the sculptors mother
The Tablet she holds is the Declaration of Independence and has the date MDDCLXXVI inscribed on it as does the pyramid of the Great Seal Of the United States
At her feet are broken chains which represent the breaking of the chains of tyranny
The crown she wears has 7 rays/spikes which among other things represents the seven seas
She is made of thin sheets of hammered copper which oxidizes green
Her internal structure was designed by Eiffel and foreshadowed the curtain wall construction that makes modern sky scrapers possible
Emma Lazarus wrote a great poem about her called The New Colossus

The Statue of Liberty was shipped by France to New York City as a gift to America.

hi,
i believe the statue of liberty was given by the French as gift to
America.
It was designed by Bartholdi and presented by the French Republic to commemorate the centenary of the Declaration of Independence.
It was erected in 1886.
The pedestal is 151 feet high the statue is 151 feet and made of copper and iron.

the design was of Frederic Bartholdi but the frame that support the copper plats is engineered by Gustave Eiffel ( the person that build the Eiffel tower in Paris )
the construction stared in 1886 and it is said that the face of the statue is the face of the mother of Frederic Bartholdi
