This is the front of a photo card that was issued (probably in 1983) to help raise public support for the renovation of the Statue of Liberty.
The back of the card reads: "To me, this picture captures perfectly the spirit of hope, courage and freedom that our Statue represents. I'm sure you agree that it would be tragic if we allowed this majestic symbol to deteriorate."
Underneath those words is the facsimile signature of Lee Iacocca (then the president, CEO and chairman of Chrysler).
The photo is by Peter B. Kaplan, a longtime photographer who documented the Statue of Liberty's renovation.
