MONUMENT TO GOV. JOHN S, PILLSBURY, MINNE- 
POLIS, MINN. 
With befitting ceremonies, and under a condi- 
tion not generally met with in unveiling ceremon- 
ies — the presence of the living original — the bronze 
statue of Gov. John S. Pillsbury was unveiled in 
Minneapolis on Sept. I2. The illustration on this 
page, for the photograph of which we are indebted 
trusive features to marr the effect of the whole, or 
invite thoughtless criticism. All the details are 
well arranged; the hang of the garments, their ar- 
rangement, all point to the fact that a master hand 
modeled the statue, and created a harmonious bal- 
ance in the completed work. The portraiture is 
not only excellent as might have been expected, 
but the spirit in the expression is characteristic of 
STATUE OF GOV. PIEESBURY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. — D. C. FRENCH, SC. 
to the 5/. Paul Pioneer Press, gives an excellent 
viewof the monument, which is located on the cam- 
pus of the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis. 
The statue is the work of Daniel Chester French 
and is a splendid production. It is somewhat over 
life-size and bears the impress of a work of art, and 
moreover lends itself to dispute the argument that 
a statue in modern habiliments can never be made 
artistic. It is unquestionably both dignified in 
ose and the attitude of the figure presents no ob- 
the man, and bears intimate relationship to the 
manuscript in the hand as containing matter to 
which he is giving voice. 
The monument as a whole is simple in design, 
but dignified as befitting the work. The pedestal 
which is of Minnesota granite, has no alluring de- 
tail to divert attention from the figure above. 
The work of art it supports is the prime object for 
study, and the simplicity of the accessories contri- 
butes to a better appreciation of the statue itself
