About this postcard

The Statue of Liberty stands on its pedestal atop the star-shaped granite walls of Fort Wood on Bedloe's Island (now Liberty Island), seen across New York Harbor with a tinted sunrise sky behind. The statue, a gift from France dedicated in 1886 and designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi with an iron framework by Gustave Eiffel, served as the first landmark seen by millions of immigrants arriving at nearby Ellis Island. The low buildings and seawall of the old fort and immigration station wharf appear at the water's edge.
