Statue of Liberty Archival Photo – Wet Plate Collodion Series

The Torch of Freedom in New York Harbor

Gifted by France in 1886, the Statue of Liberty has stood as an enduring symbol of freedom, hope, and welcome for generations of arrivals to the United States. Rising from Liberty Island, Lady Liberty’s neoclassical form, torch, and crown embody the ideals of democracy and resilience that define New York and the nation.

This archival black and white photograph, recreated in the wet plate collodion style, enhances the texture of the copper surface and the majesty of the statue’s silhouette against the harbor sky. Printed on museum-grade matte archival paper, the piece captures the timeless presence of one of the world’s most recognizable monuments.
