The internal structure of the statue was ingeniously engineered by Maurice Koechlin, chief engineer of Gustave Eiffel's renowned engineering company, who also designed the iconic Eiffel Tower. The pedestal, an architectural marvel, was designed by Richard Morris Hunt. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc played a pivotal role in selecting copper for the statue's construction and implementing the repoussé technique, which involves hammering malleable metal from the reverse side.
