Franc is first in….AND correct ! the photo was taken in Paris just weeks before completion.

Lady Liberty was modeled on the Roman goddess Libertas, (some thought Gina Lola Bridgitia……) also known as Liberty Lighting The World, or Liberty Enlightening The World. Interesting fact : Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, who became famous for the most popular Paris icon of all……..designed the interior iron framework of the Statue, which included two spiral staircases.

I’m looking for your gift as I type.
