The Gunnar Wennerbcrg memorial to a 
famous Swedish composer, lately presented to 
the city of Minneapolis by her Swedish citi- 
zens, is an unusually picturesque rendering of 
the sculptured portrait memorial. The repre- 
sentation of a rough stone background has 
been used to good technical purpose in reliev- 
ing the bare, ungainly effect of many portrait 
statues. The figure and its background are of 
bronze, and the pedestal is a nine-ton block 
of St. Cloud granite. The work was executed 
by Carl Eldh, of Stockholm, and the bronze 
was cast in that city by llergmans Konstgju- 
teriaktiebolag. The base is S-Cxd-Cx.TO, and 
was cut by the Gnited Granite Co., of St. 
Cloud. The work was set by Martin Oberg, 
of Minneapolis. Ti has been given a beautiful 
setting in Minnehaha Park, (piite appropriate 
to the character and spirit of the work.
