That same year Bartholid had assembled the statue's right arm and torch,and displayed them in Philadelphia.It is said that he had used his wife's arm as the model,but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue.He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength,someone more severe than beautiful.He chose his mother. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on an island in Upper New York Bay in 1886.It had his mother's face and his wife's body,but Bartholdi called it " my daughter,Liberty ".
