But in this particular instance it is not revisionist. All one has to do is head out to Liberty Island and look up. I don't care if Bartholdi was thinking of making the statue look like a martian. He ended up making it look the way it looks now and it is what it is. Been that way since 1876.
Miss Liberty has been featured on United States coins ever since the 1700s.
She has worn headdresses, caps, and crowns.
She has worn flowing gowns, tight blouses, and even no upper body clothing at all.
She has been standing, walking, and sitting.
She has held shields.
Her hair has been let down and pulled up in braids.
She has even donned Native American headwear.
