Rare invitation to the Statue of Liberty inauguration, held at Bedloe's Island, New York Harbor in 1886.

Invitation in calligraphy reads in part: "...You are invited to be present on the occasion of the inauguration by the President of the United States, of the Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World..." Tiffany designed the card which features a gold embossed wreath with crossed flags, and an image of the Statue on its pedestal, with the shields of both the United States and France. Measures 7.5" x 5.5".Condition: Toning and light discoloration, overall in very good condition.
