Sculptor Auguste Bartholdi gives the dream the form of a lady, holding a torch to “enlighten the world.” Engineers, plasterers, carpenters, and coppersmiths work together to turn the lady into a monument more than 100 feet tall. Doreen Rappaport’s poetic vignettes and Matt Tavares’s magnificent images remind us of the origins of a national symbol—and show that it took a lot of people to make the Lady.","brand":"Doreen Rappaport","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47564267323604,"sku":"9780763671150","price":9.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7d3a8bc9-ec3b-4358-9d9b-87f061282d81.jpg?v=1771388242","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780763671150","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
