THE MINERS." Constantin Meunier. (1831-1905.) Meunier is the Millet of Sculpture, a Millet who gives us true images, not of peasants, but of miners and artisans." We reproduce above one of the four panels which Meunier intended for a monument to Labour. The other subjects are The Dockers," The Harvesters," and The Furnacemen." Since Meunier's death the four reliefs in bronze have, most appropriately, been placed on the four sides of the temple at Jena erected to the memory of the famous Socialist professor and manufacturer, Ernst Abbe.
