Happy 100th birthday Dawn of Glory statue! On July 13th, 1924, this World War Memorial was unveiled in Highland Park in Brooklyn, NY. Sculptor Pietro Montana based the figure on original body-builder Charles Atlas! The NY Parks department mentioned this today! Thanks NY Parks for remembering the statue and Charles Atlas!

Thanks so much for sharing this post! I enjoyed reading it and exploring the topic further. The Dawn of Glory statue is magnificent. As a student of Atlas, it makes me proud to learn that Charles Atlas was the model that the sculptor, Pietro Montana, based this beautiful work of art on.
