Meunier is best known for his sculptural works devoted to the miners in the Borinage region of southern Belgium. His commanding Monument to Labor, was intended as a prominent welcome to Brussels, capitol of Belgium, but, due to its socialist content, is now relegated to a square in a working-class suburb. Like the work by Pissarro exhibited here, this print was published by the anarchist journal, Les Temps nouveaux [New Times], in its thirteenth album of lithographs.
