307 US - Statue of Liberty (1984)

Brief Description
"Made in Paris by the French sculptor Bartholdi, in collaboration with Gustave Eiffel (who was responsible for the steel framework), this towering monument to liberty was a gift from France on the centenary of American independence in 1886. Standing at the entrance to New York Harbour, it has welcomed millions of immigrants to the United States ever since."
自由女神像

"自由女神像由法国雕塑家巴托迪和古斯塔夫·埃菲尔(他负责雕像的钢架)共同完成,这个象征着自由的雕塑是法国于1886年赠送给美国的,以祝贺美国独立100周年。从那时至今,这个矗立在纽约港口的自由女神已经迎来数以百万到美国来的移民。"
