People like boobs.

You gotta like boobs a lot.

What else would I like* if I didn’t like boobs a lot!
*Other than my jock and a long flag-a-long?!

Also something to keep in mind is that prior to the Victorian era some cultures were less prudish than we tend to imagine them.

Hell, not even the Victorians were as prudish as most people think.

Although what is slightly more germane is that perhaps the most celebrated image of her was as a topless goddess.

Well, she has a divine right. And left.

IIRC one of Bartholdi’s designs for the Statue of Liberty had her breasts exposed.

But the model was his MOM!!!

Leif Ericson’s sister, Freydis, scared off attacking Indians by beating a sword on her bare breasts. And I suppose yelling at them, since there is not much scarier than a hot, topless, pregnant, Norse ginger with a sword yelling at you.
