Statue of Liberty - Early work Announcement

Time: Sep, 1875

Place: France

Details: By 1875, France was enjoying improved political stability and a recovering postwar economy. The growing interest in the upcoming Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia led Laboulaye to decide it was time to seek public support. In September 1875, Bartholdi announced the project and the formation of the Franco-American Union as its fundraising arm. With the announcement, the statue was given a name, Liberty Enlightening the World.
