i We are requesting to be on your agenda for November 25, 1986 to discuss the
City's support of our LIBERTY PROJECT, opening at the Main Library on
January 10, 1987.
We feel that LIBERTY: The French -American Statue in Art and History_
exhibition and special events will attract nation-wide media attention.
This will be an excellent backdrop for a series of events that will take
place during its' two -month stay in Miami. We -would specifically like to
ask the City of Miami's support in bringing Philippe Petit, the French high
wire artist who will design a special walk for downtown Miami. This will
also provide an opportunity for many of our residents to personally be a
part of the 100th Birthday Celebration for "Miss Liberty."
We are most appreciative of your interest and support.
Cordially yours,

STATUE OF LIBERTY EXHIBITION OI'f?N1tl(; MAIN LTTITtARY
JANUARY 10, 1987
Li
The 100th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty affectionately known as "Miss Liberty"
will be celebrated in Dade County when LIBERTY: The French -American Statue in Art
and History, a traveling exhibition organized by the New York Public Library, is
being brought to Miami with the cooperation of the Consulate General of France in
Miami. The Liberty Exhibition opens at the Main Library, 101 West Flagler Street on
January 10, and will be open at no charge to the public during regular library hours
through February 25, 1987.
Called "the most special gift ever given one country by another, the Statue of of
Liberty occupies a special place in the hearts of Americans and the French." LIBERTY:
The French -American Statue in Art and History explores the major episodes in the
statue's complex development, as a symbol of liberty, an icon for all who immigrated
to America and as the bond that has strengthened French -American friendship.
Photographs, models, drawings and watercolors will trace the steps of the nine years
it was in the making and examine the unprecedented technological challenges faced by
engineers Violett-le-Duc and Gustave Eiffel. Rarely has a work of art had such a
social and historical impact on the world.
One of the most dramatic pieces in this exhibition will be a 500-pound 6} foot
copper -clad index finger which sculptor Bartholdi had on public display in Paris in
1878 to dramatize the colossal dimensions of the proposed statue and to raise funds
through public subscription so he could complete his project.
A series of lectures, films on French culture, concerts and a French Film Week
presenting outstanding feature films have been planned. A spectacular walk by
world-famous high wire artist Phillip Petite is now being negotiated. Many other
popular events will also take place such as a French cooking demonstration and French
wine tasting as well as symposiums on "The Recent Immigrants" and "Freedom and
Liberty Today."
The exhibition was made possible in Dade County with the support of Air France,
American Express, Burdines, Christian Dior/New York, Pan American Airways and Ryder
Systems.
Please call the Community Relations Department of the Main Library at 375-5016 for
further information regarding LIBERTY: The French -American Statue in Art and
History.

100 Years of -Liberty
Introduction
Commemorating the Centenary of the Statue of Liberty, this
exhibition documents the monument's history from its inception
to the recent restoration. It begins by placing the artist,
Frederic -Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904), in his artistic and
social context. Bartholdi shared the nineteenth century's
fascination with the colossal, with technology, and with faith
in progress. Behind the creation of the work of art is a drama
of political forces, international finance, and high-powered
public relations. The Franco -American Onion, under the leader-
ship of Edouard de Laboulaye, propelled into tangible form the
project to celebrate French -American friendship. After a decade
of intense labors, having triumphed over countless obstacles
and setbacks, Bartholdi and his tranat:antic caa.-ngions inau,-
urated Liberty on October 281 1886, with spectacular festivities.
From its declared purpose as a tribute to French -American
friendship, Liberty Enlightening the World has undergone radical
changes in meaning over the century. As the most famous work
of art in the United States, perhaps in the world, the statue's
image continues to proliferate.

laftholdi's art was profoundly affected by the world in which
Ike lived. The •aluea he learned from his devoutly Protestant
mother were consistent with his ardent republicaniss and his
attachment to his native Aleaces commitments which provided the _
central t1emes of his art. The republican spirit brought Berth-
oldi into the circle of Edouard de Laboulayet the eminent pro-
fessor of law and authority on American history. As the young
sculptor's mentor. Laboulaye articulated the statue's message
and provided the political support essential to realising a son-
usent to -Trench -American friendship. With Laboulaye's blessing.
Dartholdi visited the Unite& States in 1871 in order to determine
the feasibility of such a.sonument and to find an appropriate
site.

2. Genesis of the statue
Colossal sculpture fascinated Bartholdi, who made pilgri- _
sages across Europe and Egypt to experience this massive art
firsthand. His travel in Egypt, combined with his -enthusiasm for
emerging technology, encouraged him to envision a gigantic
lighthouse at the mouth of the Sues Canal, which Ferdinand de
Lesseps was just completing. After Bartholdi's Sues project
failed, and the Franco- Prussian War left France in disarray,
Bartholdi directed his imagination toward America. He trans-
formed his earlier Sues project into a beacon, personifying
Liberty Enlightening the World, to be the tallest statue ever
constructed.
In keeping with his new theme, he defined- a new iconography.
drawn from a broad range of historical sources. Eliminating the
Phrygian bonnet and downplaying the broken shackles, both trad-
itional attributes of Liberty, Bartholdi substituted the flame
of knowledge and the tablets of law and -order. The rays of en-
lightenment radiate from her crown. Bartholdi integrated his
symbols into a form that suited the island site, creating a
figure that seems to enter the harbor with arriving ships, yet
appears immobile when viewed from the city.

3. Constractlou
The colossal scale of Liberty necessitated a structural system
akin to architecture rather than traditional sculpture. Barth-
oldi turned first to the famous Eugene Viollet-le-Duct whose desigs
was probably retained for the passages of the arm and heads which
were completed before the architect's death in 1879. Bartholdi
then sought the collaboration of Gustave Eiffel, who bad not yet
built his famous tower but vas already recognised for hiwfgenius
as an engineer. Ultimately the flexibility and lightness of
Eiffel's armature was a vast improvement over -the more cumber- _
some earlier plans. and the structure anticipated the curtain -
wall construction of modern skyscrapers.
From Bartholdi's eight -foot plaster model, sections of the
statue were multiplied to their final scale. Wooden molds.
called aabarits, were built to conform exactly to the contours
df each section; into these molds. sheets of copper were hammer-
ed to their proper shapes. The pieces were riveted together as
they were completed in the atelier of Gaget, Gauthier in Paris.
Assembly of the statue'vas complete by May 1884.

4. The preach Castel"
The lranco-American Union was officially launched by
Laboulaye with a banquet at the Sorel du Louvre on November
6, 1875. Thereafter, Bartholdi threw his energies into gener-
ating the publicity necessary to attract contributions on both
sides of the Atlantic. He staged the triumphant display of the
torch at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876 as well
• as the inauguration of his bronze Lafayette in Union Square in
Rev York City. After an initial surge of subscriptions, the
French campaign failed to raise sufficient money to cover the -
costs of the construction.
By 1880, through activities such as a lottery and a caval-
cade, the needed sum vas guaranteed. Tha majority of subscrip-
tions vere from municipalities and regional administrations
throughout France. In October 1881, the first rivet vas driven
with great fanfare, by Levi P Morton, the American Minister to
France. Other significant festivities included the ceremony of
transfer of the deed for the statue from the Franco -American
Union to the United States on July 4, 1884. Laboulaye's death
in 1883 deprived the Union of his leadership, and Ferdinand de
Lesseps replaced him as its president.

lartholdi's second ♦isit to America, capitalising on the
Philadelphia Centennial tzhibition of 1876, catalysed the for-
mation of an American Committee to assume responsibility for the
statue's pedestal and installation. The Union League Club with
its commitment to patriotic and artistic ideal& contributed the
core of the Committee, headed by William Maxwell Ev arts.
Despite unezpected delays and setbacks, t.3e Committee per-
severed in a massive fund-raising campaign. Although it raised
almost $200.000 by 1885, another $100,000 was necessary to com-
plete the pedestal. The situation vas critical vhen Joseph Pul-
itzer launched a brilliant drive for the money in his nevspaper,
the World. The advent of mass press circulation and more sophis-
ticoted advertising established the identity of Liberty both in
Trance and the United States. Pulitzer declared the compaign's
triumph on August 11 . 1885. In five months the World had guar-
anteed Liberty's welcome.

Richard Morris Dust explored a aide variety of designs before
arriving at the final compoetion of the pedestal. An architect
trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Bunt attracted a prestigious
clientele, many of who• belogSed to the American Comsittee. The
elegadt refinement and strong masses of his pedestal suited the
classical grandeur of Liberty.
The concrete foundation was begun in 1883 and the cornerstone
laid on August S, 1884. Liberty arrived on June 19, 1885, just
as the World victory was assured. With the coipletion of the
pedestal in Spring 1886, Eiffel's pylons were bolted into the
pddestal and the armature quickly erected. To assemble the copper
shin, workmen hung from the aperture, riveting each piece to the
internal support and the adjacent copper sections. Work on the
Interior was barely finished as the flame was hoisted into place.
Liberty was ready for her debut.

7. Grand tlaale
Sartholdi and the ♦merican Committee savored the fruits of
their decade of labors on October 28, 1886, when elaborate fast-
ivities marked the dedication of the statue. The sculptor was
lionised fro■ the soment of his arrival, and even made an honor-
ary citizen of New York.
After a -*rand parade and naval flotilla, President Grover
Cleveland officiated at thecaremonles on hedloe's Island. A
lavish banquet hosted by the Chamber of Commerce feted the dis-
tinguished guests at Delmonico's restaurant, and a dazzling
display of fireworks concluded the inauguration.

Over the last century, the natural deterioration of an out-
door sculpture as wall as past modifications to the statue made
the centennial restoration imperative. Stainless steel armature
bars replaced the corroded iron ones. The structural weakness
of the torch arm, a problem from the outset, was corrected. The
flame, to which the paned glass had been added in 1916, was re-
stored to its original shape and gilded, as Eartholdi had
wished.
The physical decay contrasts dramatically with the statue's
enhanced status as an icon. The star of countless replicas,
she is as familiar as the Stars and Stripes. From the symbol
Of French -American amity, she has evolved into the image of the
United States. The range of meanings that Liberty accommodates
and the purposes to which her image is subject are as pluralis-

SUggestions for public Program/Zxhibitions to coWle"at the
Liberty exhibition
NO hope that you Will circulate information about this exhibi-
tion among your colleagues. One of the primary goals of The
New York Public Library's travelling exhibition program is that
each exhibition serves as a catalyst for small related exhibi-
tions and programs at the host institutions. Please encourage
your staff to investigate their own collections; to plan satel-
lite exhibitions or public programs which will highlight the
strengths of your holdings.
For example, during the tour of an exhibition on Censorship,
organized by the New York Public Library, several sites mounted
small exhibitions from their own collections which placed this
comtemporary exhibition in its historical context. Similarly,
several sites planned lectures, discussions and film programs,
which drew upon scholars and political figures in their own
community. With this in mind we suggest that institutions plan
their own programs. To assist in this process we are including
a summary of programs scheduled at the New York Public Library
in conjunction with the exhibition, "Liberty: The French -
American Statue in Art and History".

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
Because the program functions on a- very limited budget, a procedure for
the shipping of the films for the FRFXX FILM WEEK has been used for
several years to minimize costs and delays. It applies to all hosting
universities and/or cultural institutions, except for the ones at the
beginning and the end of the tour, which receive additional and/or dif-
ferent instructions. Hosting institutions must advance the money for
the shipping of the prints. Shipping casts will be reimbursed by us
upon receipt of the invoices f ram the airlines used. IF FOR SC ME MASON
A SHIPPING CKPANY (such as Federal Express, Profit by Air, etc.. ) IS
USED, CNLY MM DQUIO.UM OF MM COST CFWM BY THE AMII= FOR FREIGHT
SHIPPING WILL BE REIMUFiSED, THE BA MM BEING THE RMT=ABILITY OF THE
SHIPPER. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SiCULD THIRD PARTY BILLDU BE USED. -
1) All universities and/or institutions must program the films in the
same order. This order is given as soon as the list of the titles
has been established.
2) The name, phone number and address of the person from wham you will
receive the prints and to wham you will forward then is given well
in advance."
3) The person ahead of you mist take the prints to the airport in at least
two shIMMts and send them as air freight and let you know, as soon
as possible, of flight and as
bill numbers. The prints can then
be picked up the manent they arrive at their destination.
4) You must in turn take the prints to the airport in also in a minimrn
of two shi tents and mtify your correspondent of flight and airway
b numbers.
5) The films should be insured, ($2,000.00 per film) while traveling.
6) For short distances, ground transportation such as Greyhound or
Amtrak may be used, following the same procedure as for air ship-
ping. However, Greyhound NEXT BUS OUT (LIDO) service cannot be used,
since it is quite expensive.
7) Gasoline costs to and from airport or bus depot/train station will
be reimbursed, based on mileage.

program to present the films. Informal seminars or lec-
tures are usually organized during their stay in each
city.

HE. EXH121T10M
At the beginning of the French fund -rasing
campaign for the Statue of Liberty in 187;,
Edouard de Laboulaye said, "In a hundred
years America will celebrate anorher cen-
tennial of her independence. By then she
will have forgotten our names, bttt (the
statue] will ... bear witness ... to the
everlasting friendship which joins France
and America."
The centennial of the Statue of Liberty is
the opportunity for a comprehensive ex.
hibition tracing the Statue's history, art.
technology, and symbolism as a monument
to liberty and to French -American frater-
nity. Liberty: The French-.-I)rterrcan Statite
in Art ind History places the Statue in a
broad historical framework while demon-
strating its artistic and technological de-
velopment from inception through current
restoration.
Like the Statue itself, the exhibition is the
product of French -American collaboration.
It has been developed jointly by the Official
French -American Committee to Celebrate
the Centennial of the Statue of Liberty and
The New York Public Library. The exhibi-
tion has been made possible by generous
grants from Louis Vuitton and the National
Endowment for the Humanities. Washing-
ton, D.C., a Federal agency.
Liberty brings together more than ;oo
objects from over -g public and private
collections. Bronzes, models, paintings, en-
gravings, architectural drawings. manu-
scripts, correspondence, and photographs
tell the story of France's gift to America.
The exhibition is organized in ekaht
sections:
Bartholdi and His NCorld
Genesis of the Statue
Construction
The French Campaign
The American Campaign
Realization in America
Grand Finale
too tears of Liberty
The first seven sections are on display to
Gottesman Exhibition Hall. The etuhth
section, on the Statue of Liberr to the
twentieth century, is in the Librar's sec-
ond -floor gallery.
H0U�S AND T0U:,S
The exhibition, on view from June _i to
August ;o, 19S6, is open, free of charge.
Mundav through Saturday, from to:
a.m. to 6:oo p.m. After its presentation at
the Library, Lrbertn, will travel to the
Museum of Decorative .arts in Pans where

February t, 19S7.
One -hour tours of the exhibition will be
offered Monday through Saturday twice
daily at i_:3o and _: ;o. Library docents
will present viewers with highlights of
Liberty and elaborate on important epi-
sodes in the creation of the Statue, its
restoration, and the vaned interpretations
of it during its first hundred years. Group
