The noble rust, as Italians call it, which gives copper and bronze so beautiful a surface color, has covered the Statue of Liberty with a malachite green that does not disintegrate the metal as rust devours iron. Galvanic action was avoided by insulation between all iron and copper parts.rom these, large wooden molds were made of the statue's surface. Using the repousse method, copper sheets were hammered within these molds to reproduce the statue's contours on the the plates. In all, 350 plates make up the statue's surface. Two inch-wide straps of iron were forged to fit inside each plate.
Drawing of the Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay. Designed by FrÃ©dÃ©ric Bartholdi in collaboration with the French engineer Gustave Eiffel (who was responsible for its frame) and dedicated on October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty is a large neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The statue was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The project was a joint effort between the French and American peoples. The French would provide the statue while the Americans would provide the site and build the pedestal. The Statue of Liberty stands at a height of 151 feet 1 inch (46 meters).
