The Original Torch - Lady Liberty 1986 - A Unique Collection
A bit of history on The Statue of Liberty...
In 1986, Michael Kingsford, respected New York historical landmark photographer, created this Statue of Liberty collection with his iconic photo in the days before her centennial celebration — before the crowds, before the tall ships filled the harbor, before the world was watching and before they replaced the original torch.
Those images were made into prints to sell at the historic OpSail event, at the time drawing the largest crowds America had ever seen! But, life moved on, and the prints went into storage for forty years!
They have just resurfaced on www.thelibertyedition.com — all 450 of them, remarkably preserved, untouched, exactly as they were made.
