Miss Freedom, Copper statue at Georgia State Capitol, Atlanta, US
The white-painted hollow copper statue stands 26 feet tall at the dome of the Georgia State Capitol, holding a torch and sword in opposite hands.
Installed in 1889, the statue was manufactured by W.H. Mullins Manufacturing Company in Salem, Ohio, following designs from architectural firm Edbrooke and Burnham.
The statue incorporates classical elements including a Phrygian cap with a star, representing freedom and liberty atop the governmental building.
The torch functions as a mercury-vapor lamp that emits blue-green light, with internal tube systems allowing maintenance access for bulb replacement.
The statue weighs over 1600 pounds and remained dark until 1959 when engineers installed an electrical system to illuminate the torch.
