Summary edit

Description
English: Philadelphia: Centennial Photographic Company, 1876. People stand around the traveling right hand and torch section of the Statue of Liberty, which was still under construction, and look down from an observation deck in the torch. The Statue of Liberty, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (1834-1904), was not completed until 1886. The Liberty Torch, however, was constructed for the Centennial Exhibition. Arriving late in August, many exhibition programs incorrectly listed it as "Colossal Arm" or "Barthholdi Electric Light."
