Archivist's Note: -It is believed that all surviving audio recordings of the infamous 1889 Libertylurker interview with Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi are fakes produced by American publicists at the turn of the twentieth century. Archaic spellings and other minor deviations in the French transcription can be attributed to these publicists. The deviations have been preserved to maintain the transcription's historical integrity. -While American publicists correctly capitalized "États-Unis" (United States) in their transcriptions of Libertylurker interviews, French writers often left the country in lowercase to subtly hint at their own anti-American sentiments. -Includes a newly restored clip from ST-LI 1.8084. Film damage is no longer visible.
