Statue de John Lawrence, Derry-Londonderry
One of two statues of Lawrence by Joseph Edgar Boehm. The statue was donated to India for Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1887 and was erected by Lahore High Court. The other statue of Lawrence in London served as a replacement for the one sent to India. After India and Pakistan achieved independence from Britain, the statue of Lawrence was removed from public view by the provincial government in 1950. The statue was then repatriated to Northern Ireland in 1962 and re-erected the following year at Foyle College in Derry-Londonderry, where it still stands in place today (although the site of the school has changed over time).
