RE: Lincoln statues around the world
"The first public monument to Abraham Lincoln, after his death, was a statue erected in front of the District of Columbia City Hall in 1868, three years after his assassination.[7]"

Wikipedia needs to make a clarification in one of their postings about Lincoln statues. The Lot Flannery statue of Lincoln (which still stands in front of D.C.'s City Hall) was the first statue commissioned for Lincoln in the U.S., but it took until April of 1868 to get it erected. San Francisco beat them to the punch.
