CS's selection must be of the construction of the Statue of Liberty in France, circa 1870s. That would be Lady Liberty's left hand holding the book. Sad to realize that at one time we had real freedom in this country...

Sorry for the wide angle, folks. Some might recognize the man, but who is the lady in this historic picture?

Wow! That's a great answer. I would have just taken "signing of the declaration" . Now that you mentioned it, I remember learning in school that it wasn't signed at the same time.
Take a turn CS ( in fact that answer was so good, if it were up to me, you could take two. )

It's Chaplin alright and he's dressed as the little tramp, so it must be on a movie set. I don't recognize the lady, but I'll take a wild guess and say it's Teddy Roosevelt's wife, the First Lady.

Wait, wait, wait... I had no idea (figured it was some actress from the period). I totally missed this the first time around, but JUST noticed the woman is TOUCHING Chaplin's face in an odd way (with one finger on his mustache) as if feeling what he looks like. That means it can only be his contemporary, Helen Keller!

Here's an easy one... this is from a piece of art that commemorates a certain event.
Name the event and where the monument is located.

Here's a hint - that's a radio in the corner, and it's indirectly related to our own @Citizen Rules.

You've posted that pic before I'll see if anyone else can guess it.

Orson Welles radio drama about Invasion by Martians? Or is that too far fetched?
A monument to the event (about 6 feet tall) was erected in Grover's Mill in my home state of NJ. That spot is significant because in the radio show that's where the Martians first landed.
It depicts Orson Welles broadcasting, a Martian tripod, and a typical family being panicked by what they heard on the radio on Halloween in 1938.
Legend has it that locals in Grover's Mill went out and shot at a water tower that they thought was a Martian tripod machine that is still standing today (or at least was as of 2012)!:
Inscription on the monument:

I never knew that a monument was erected with it being a massive hoax CS. That is why I notioned my answer was far fetched. I listened to a copy of the original broacast some time back. I can see why people were taken in that it was a genuine invasion from another world. Just for the record the 1953 War Of the Worlds film is my fav Amercan sci fi. By the way what do you prefer to be called here?
