The Werner Bibl Collection is presented in this second volume. Together with Volume I of the Grohmann Museum sculptures, both books provide a representative and detailed documentation of this historically interesting genre. Sculptures of workers are more than just a fascinating field in art history. The figures outline different interpretations of human work, chronicle forgotten occupations, tools and specific work situations and serve as sources for the history of technology and labor. In short, the sculptures document the history of civilization. // Ernst Seger; Schmidt-Felling; Johann F. Reusch; Johann S. Feilner; Wilhelm Bormann; Ludwig Eisenberger; Martin Goetze; Gerhard A.
