An outdoor bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln by Henry Kirke Brown is installed in Union Square in Manhattan, New York.

[1] Arrangements were made for the erection of the statue after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865.

[2] Cast in 1870 and dedicated on September 16 of that year, the statue was originally installed at the southwest corner of Union Square, where the statue of Mahatma Gandhi now stands.

"[3] During the 1930 redesign of Union Square Park, the statue was moved to its current location, but the fence remained.

The statue is in axial alignment with the Independence Flagstaff and George Washington.
