Erik Erstad-Jorgensen is a garden architect of Copenhagen, a member of the 
board of directors of the Royal Danish Garden Association, and has laid out gardens 
for the city of Copenhagen besides for other municipalities, for expositions, and for 
private manors and villas. He has studied his profession in part under the garden 
architect, Edvard Glaesel, the designer of the park surrounding the Town Hall in 
Copenhagen. 
“MAN TRIUMPHANT” 
David Edstrom, the Swedish-American sculptor, whose work has often been 
pictured in the Review, has recently completed the design for the colossal victory 
monument reproduced on the cover to-day. Originally conceived as a monument to 
Labor, it grew into the broader idea of all humanity in its struggle with evil. With 
a conscious though entirely original adaptation of the Laocoon motif, the artist has 
depicted mankind, not defeated by irresistible fate as in the old Greek sculptured 
group, but triumphing over his evil destiny and over the forces of evil outside him 
and within him. On the architectural base of the monument are sculptured reliefs 
picturing the progress of man’s victory over the inanimate world. In the first we see 
the conquest of the world by manual labor; in the second, the development of science 
and the strength that comes with knowledge; in the third, the beautifying of life 
through art and the aesthetic interests; in the fourth, the spiritual conquest through 
religion.
