Notes: \'Arm and hand of the Statue of Liberty. The arm and hand of Bartholdi\'s \'Liberty Enlightening the World\' were all that had been completed of the colossal sculpture in 1876, and figured prominently as a popular attraction. Literature available at the kiosk at the base informed visitors of the details of Bartholdi\'s plan and invited subscriptions of ten cents to one hundred dollars toward payment for a pedestal for the completed statue. After the Exposition closed the sculpture was transported to New York, where it was exhibited in Madison Square.\'--Looney. Old Philadelphia in Early Photographs, p. 214.
