Description
The liberty bell is one of the most symbolic items of American history. The liberty bell ranks right up there with the declaration of independence. I love this image in black and white it brings out the depth and detail of the bell.
The crack itself is believed to have been caused by a fault in the metal after years of hard use. The crack itself, as seen today, is actually the attempted repair job on the bell to fix a smaller crack. The repair job failed. The bell is no longer rang.
The liberty bell's inscription "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof" and refers to Leviticus 25:10: "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof." This Old Testament verse refers to the "Jubilee", or the instructions to the Israelites to return property and free slaves every 50 years.
