Statue of Liberty — Close-Up of the Left Foot, HAER

An extraordinary close-up of the Statue of Liberty reveals the sculptural folds surrounding the monument’s left foot. Seen at this intimate scale, the familiar landmark becomes an abstract study of sweeping copper drapery, seams, contours, weathered surfaces, and the distinctive blue-green patina of Liberty’s exterior.

Created as part of the Historic American Engineering Record documentation of the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island, New York, this photograph offers an unusual perspective on Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi’s monumental sculpture and the engineering achievement supported by Gustave Eiffel’s internal framework.
