I at first had intended not to buy this piece. I felt the same as many who did not consider it a "real Lighthouse" but after seeing it and reading about its use as a working lighthouse, I reconsidered. I now own Liberty enlightening the world! I too intend to put it under a special glass dome and place it on the piano. It is a great piece for Harbour lights. And IMHO your collection is not complete without it! I think Art express my sentiments exactly!
