About this postcard

The Statue of Liberty stands on its pedestal on Liberty Island, with New York Harbor in the foreground and an orange-tinted sky at the horizon. Dedicated in 1886, the statue was a landmark for ships entering the harbor and a symbol of the nation's welcome to immigrants. In the early 1900s the island was still commonly called Bedloe's Island.
