THE BIRTH AND REBIRTH OF A LANDMARK
Documentarian Charles Guggenheim ("Yorktown") interweaves
19th-century stills and writings with contemporary film footage to
chronicle the creation and restoration of the Statue of Liberty,
which was first dedicated 100 years ago today.
Lady Liberty is the masterpiece of French sculptor Frédéric
Auguste Bartholdi, who in 1873 began work on the 152-foot
monument, basing it on clay models he had designed earlier. It
was a task that demanded, says narrator Gary Merrill, "over
100,000 measurements" and hundreds of specially made tools.
It also required the genius of engineer Gustav Eiffel, who
designed the intricate support structure that would protect Lady
Liberty against hurricane winds and extreme temperature swings.
What she couldn't withstand, however, was "100 years of wind,
salt air and acid rain." So in January 1984, architects and
engineers from France and the U.S. began the statue's
monumental restoration, which called for constructing "the
world's tallest free-standing scaffold" so workers could remove
the torch and repair her arm ("the most battered and fragile part
of the statue"). Workers also replaced some 1800 iron support
bars with those made of stainless steel. (60 min.)
