16. Statue Of Liberty Delivery
Among the other rare historical photos on this list is the documentation of the unboxing of the statue of liberty. The statue was a gift from France to the U.S. in 1884 and there was a very formal and celebratory unveiling in 1885, but a lucky few actually got to see the assembly of the amazing statue. Seeing the bronze statue up close must have been an extraordinary opportunity, as it’s 305 feet tall. The well-known designer of the Eiffel tower, Gustave Eiffel designed the statue and it was finished in France before being shipped to the U.S. in 214 crates.
