. In 1874 an association, known as the French-American Union, was formed for the furtherance of this object, and most of the foremost men of France lent it their aid. It was decided to present to the United States a colossal statue of Liberty enlightening the world, and more than 1,000,000 francs were raised by popular subscription for that purpose. Of the Bartholdi's statute of liberty in New York Harbor. various models submitted to the committee having the matter in charge, that of M. Bartholdi was selected as the best, and the statue was constructed by him. It is the largest statue ever made, and the most conspicuous example of repousse work — that is, thin sheets of hammered brass laid over a framework work of iron. First, a life-size clay statute after the design was made, then three plaster statutes, the first one-sixteenth, the second one-fourth the size of the complete work, and the third its full size, the last-named being made in sections, over a wooden frame-work.
