Sadly the photo in this stamp IS NOT from the original Liberty Statue. A photo from the statue from Las Vegas was used for the design. Unbelievable. So, this never was a lighthouse. I will remove this stamp from the list.

The intention of this post is remember that, in the origins, the Statue was a lighthouse too. It worked until the begining of the XX century.
The Statue of Liberty is a topic by itself. It has numerous stamps from countries of all over the world. That is why I´ll only show the Lady Liberty stamps released by USA.
