She's our national cover girl, a gift from France to celebrate democracy, a 151-foot-tall supermodel prowling the New York Harbor catwalk in robes that are always in vogue. Consisting of 310 pieces of hammered copper assembled around an iron skeleton, Liberty Enlightening the World (Lady Liberty's official name) was dedicated on October 28, 1886--in plenty of time to greet Albert Einstein, Irving Berlin, Cary Grant, and 12 million other immigrants who arrived at nearby Ellis Island.

note:
The artwork is by a school kid in Athens, Alabama. It was posted in a window, along with the work of others from the same school. I found the upside down trees, the yoga on a raft on the river, juxtaposed with the eagles and flags, intriguing. I'd love to interview the artist.
