USA: Statue of Liberty

On Monday I got six postcards: two from the USA, one from Indonesia, one from Sweden, one from Germany and one from the Netherlands. 

One of the cards from the USA shows the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is a colossal sculpture on Liberty Island in New York. It was inaugurated in 1886 and was until 1959 the tallest statue in the World. It was a gift to the USA from the people of France and was created by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and Gustave Eiffel. Today it is a symbol of the USA and of freedom. Since 1984 is the Statue of Liberty on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
