Sven Spieker A plaque on its round marble base informs the viewer that the Flame of Liberty is an exact replica of the flame held by the Statue of Liberty in New York. The abstract ideals the flame was designed to allegorize (freedom and independence) have become em-bodied in the personal struggle for freedom by an independently-minded British princess against an oppressive (male) establishment.
