This first statue is now in Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris.

• Mourice Korchlin ( chief engineer of Gustave Eiffeli’s company) engineered the internal structure.

• Eugene Viollet – le – Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue’s construction and adoption of the repousse technique, where the metal is hammered on the reverse side.

Inspiration for the face

• One indicated the then-recently widowed Isabella Eugenie Boyer , the wife of Isaac Singer, the sewing-machine industrialist

• Another source believed that the “stern face” belonged to Baryholdi’s mother, Charlotte Bartholdi (1801-1891), whom he was very close.

Physical characteristics

• The Statue stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star

• There are 354 steps inside the statue and its pedestal, with 25 windows

• Winds of 50 miles per hour cause the Statue to sway 3 inches (7.62 см) and the torch to sway 5 inches (12.7см).This allows the statue to move rather than break in high wind load conditions.

Inscription

“ The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!“
