Arguably New York's most identifiable symbol, "Liberty Enlightening the World" (the Statue of Liberty), a gift from France for the American centennial, was completed in 1886. By the early 20th century, the statue was regarded as the "Mother of Exiles"—a symbol of hope to immigrants. New

In June 1871, Bartholdi crossed the Atlantic, with letters of introduction signed by Laboulaye.
