L’histoire du plus célèbre des symboles de la Liberté commence en 1871 quand Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi visite les États-Unis et qu’il décide que l’île de Bedloe, en plein cœur du port de New York, est l’endroit idéal pour y ériger la statue qu’il veut construire et dont il dressera le modèle Allée des Cygnes, sous le pont de Grenelle à Paris. Les illustrations colorées de ce livre racontent les différentes étapes de la réalisation de la Statue, depuis la première esquisse faite par Bartholdi jusqu’au jour de l’inauguration, le 28 octobre 1886, où il dévoile la Statue telle qu’on peut encore la voir aujourd’hui. Les aquarelles méticuleuses de Giulio Maestro montrent mieux qu’aucun autre livre l’assemblage pièce par pièce du « Colosse », la Liberté éclairant le Monde. Le livre se termine par de nombreuses informations concernant la Statue, chronologie, dimensions, noms des personnes illustres qui y ont travaillé ou s’y sont intéressées et renseignements sur les réparations et modifications faites dans les années 1983-1986.
