Liberty Enlightening The World New York Harbour Lights Limited Edition #627 "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." Each emotional word is synonymous with the lovely Lady Liberty. Liberty Enlightening the World has stood as a symbol of freedom, perseverance, and friendship for more than 100 years. A gift from the French people, the statue was an active Aid to Navigation for 17 years -- from 1886 to 1903 -- under the U.S. Lighthouse Board. A lightkeeper was kept on the island to maintain the electric light which could be seen through windows in the torch in Liberty's outstretched arm. Liberty will be available for orders during the 2000 calendar year. The edition quantity will be limited to orders received in one year. Liberty comes with a commemorative brass coin, and an expanded history. The history is a reprint of the 2 part US Lighthouse Society article about the history of the Statue of Liberty as a lighthouse. The sculpture will also be accompanied by a Collector Card Booklet and a reprint of the turn of the last century lighthouse collector card showing the statue. |
