In this 1918 photograph by Mole & Thomas, soldiers at Camp Dodge, Iowa, form a human Statue of Liberty - torch, crown, folds and all. It’s patriotic pageantry as mass choreography, a wartime performance where liberty’s likeness is stitched from uniforms and sweat. Send to someone who appreciates good lighting on July 4th.
