"We Put Her There: The Contributors"
The
financial story of the Statue of Liberty
This DVD video chronicles the struggle of ordinary citizens, both in France and
in the U. S., to finance the Statue of Liberty. From inception to completion, a
span of fourteen years, it was the generosity of thousands of volunteers on both
sides of the Atlantic which realized the dream. No government was evolved. It
was a people to people gift, largely funded by small donations from millions of
people. Utilizing nineteenth-century photos and engravings, and a narration
featuring the words of the statue's sculptor, August Bartholdi, this video
reveals how the world-famous symbol of liberty took her stand in New York Bay.
"Each step in the statue's creation, including designing, building, shipping
and dedicating the sculpture, is well illustrated in this fascinating study for
students and history buff."
