The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by ametal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, asite had to be found for it and apedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour.
