The Statue of Liberty has become such a world-renowned icon that just by seeing it most people instantly realize either where the setting of a story is (UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity) or that it involves America and its ideals in some way. In particular, ScienceFiction has taken interest in the statue to subvert American ideals or as an instrument for MonumentalDamage.
A gift from the people of France (to celebrate the parallel fights for freedom of Colonial America and Revolutionary France, and having helped each other many times) the statue itself was designed by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi[[note]]He modelled the face on his mother and the body on his wife...make of that what you will[[/note]]. Bartholdi on a visit to America selected Bedloe's Island (known as Liberty Island today) as the location. The project often stalled for funding, and received contributions from many people in France and America. Engineering and construction was handled by several people. The final interior work was done by none other than Gustav Eiffel himself. The money for the statue came from several contributors, after a major drive by Joseph Pulitzer which caught people's imagination.
Properly building and setting up the statue took years; it became a project that attracted national interest. Pieces such as the arm and head were exposed to the public before installation. Naturally, there was a big celebration upon its conclusion.
One of the Seven (manmade) Wonders of the World; for more information on the Statue and what tropes it uses, see [[Art/StatueOfLiberty the Statue's trope page]], which also includes tropes from the engraved poem ''The New Colossus''. The following tropes are those often associated with it in other media.
