The statue was designed and made in France as a gift to the US. It was assembled in France for a world fair for exhibition and fund raising purposes. The group involved had many problems funding the project in France as well as in the US. It was not until a New York paper picked up the banner and started publishing a series of articles on the statue that the funds were raised, literally shaming the US into action. The word donation leaves an impression of either used or leftover.
