Commentary
La statue de la Liberté avait été offerte par la France grâce à Bartholdi (1834-1904) et Ferdinand de Lesseps. Elle fut inaugurée le 28 octobre 1886. Pour nous remercier, les Américians nous offirent en 1900, lors de l'Exposition Universelle une statue équeste de La Fayette qui fut placée dans la cour du Musée de Louvre dans un jardin qui bénéficiait de l'extraterritorialité.
