EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching by Joseph Pennell, titled "PENNELL: CHICAGO, 1910" transports us back to the early 20th century in Chicago, Illinois. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a raised drawbridge standing tall against the backdrop of an industrialized cityscape. The intricate details of this etching showcase the fine artistry and skill of Joseph Pennell. The sharp lines and delicate shading bring life to every element within the scene. Smokestacks billow smoke into the sky, symbolizing the bustling industry that defined Chicago during this era. The drawbridge itself becomes the focal point of this print. Its towering structure commands attention as it stands suspended over a river below. One can almost imagine hearing its creaking mechanisms and feeling the vibrations as it slowly raises or lowers to allow ships to pass through. Pennell's work not only captures architectural beauty but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress at the turn of the century. This etching is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates an entire era marked by rapid urbanization and technological advancements. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind its creation and gain insight into Chicago's rich history during one pivotal year - 1910.
