Artist: Edward Moran(As reported in About.com.)By the fall of 1886 the Statue of Liberty was virtually finished, and a massive celebration was held to unveil the statue on October 28, 1886.
President Grover Cleveland presided, and after a number of speeches, the sculptor Bartholdi pulled a rope and the French tricolor covering the statue's face was pulled away.
Cannons boomed, fireworks lit the sky, and observers said it was like a thousand Fourth of July celebrations.
