This depiction of the Statue of Liberty is actually incorrect, as this drawing shows the statue facing south; while the real Statue of Liberty faces east. The Statue of Liberty was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and was dedicated on October 28, 1886 as a gift from France to the United States. The female figure represents Libertas, who was the Roman goddess of freedom. She carries a torch and a law tablet, which has the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 inscribed upon it.
