Facial Hair of Note: Frédéric A. Bartholdi
July 2, 2012
Archivist Jennifer Snyder celebrates the facial hair of the sculptor of one of America's most iconic symbols.
French sculptor, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (1834–1904) is best known for designing the Statue of Liberty. However, one can see a fantastic piece by Bartholdi near the US Capitol in Washington, DC. The Bartholdi Fountain and Park are on the grounds of the United States Botanic Garden, which is within walking distance of a number of the Smithsonian Museums. It’s a lovely “hidden” gem within the city!
Jennifer Snyder works with oral history interviews at the Archives American Art. When not sending interviews out for digitization, she is writing about extraordinary examples of facial hair for this blog.

And don't forget the Marquis de Lafayette Statue in Union Square at NYC. Another great work of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.

I've been there. Personally I wasn't too impressed with the Bartholdi Fountain and Park. Yet, you have to praise the main for the Statue of Liberty. Quite an inspired piece of art and architecture.
