The Living Statue of Liberty by Florence Brugger, Reading, PA 1918 Real Photo Postcard




Florence Brugger was a singer and obviously a performer with body control.  A newspaper from Reading, PA in 1917 reports on a concert.  She apparently also posed for a real photo postcard riding in one of those "crescent moon" novelty real photo postcards, as I find a brief record.  That is about all I can find, but this RPPC remains…"Statue of Liberty posed by Florence Brugger in Theatre December 11, 1918."

Antique Folk Art Statue of Liberty Carved Trade Figure Collection Jim Linderman








Antique Folk Art Statue of Liberty Trade Figure from the turn of the century.  The massive sculpture on Liberty Island in Manhattan was installed in 1886. Soon after this 34 inch folk art carving was created.  Note construction on the base...several blocks of wood were combined to form a block, and shrinkage of the center piece has been filled at some time with putty or plaster.  Found in Pennsylvania.

A tip of the torch to Curley's Antiques who helped in obtaining this work.
