Tiffany & Co. invitation to the Statue of Liberty's dedication ceremonies

Highly desirable engraved 7.5 x 5.5 invitation by Tiffany & Co. for "the inauguration by the President of the United States, of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World on Bedloe's Island, New York Harbor, on Thursday, October 28th, 1886," featuring a great image of the iconic statue. In very fine condition.

The Statue of Liberty dedication ceremony took place on October 28, 1886, in New York Harbor, marking the official presentation of the monument from France to the United States. President Grover Cleveland presided over the ceremony, celebrating the statue as a symbol of liberty, friendship, and democracy. Thousands gathered for parades and speeches despite rainy weather, and the event concluded with the unveiling of the statue, which soon became one of America’s most recognizable symbols of freedom and welcome. An especially desirable piece as the Statue of Liberty celebrates the 140th anniversary of its dedication this year.
