EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Under the Bridges, Chicago" was created by Joseph Pennell in 1910. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of early 20th century Chicago, showcasing its iconic bridges that span across the bustling city. Pennell's attention to detail is evident in this engraving, as he meticulously portrays the architectural marvels of these bridges against a backdrop of industrial buildings. The image transports us back in time to a period when Chicago was rapidly growing and evolving into a major metropolis. It offers a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants during this era - people crossing these bridges on foot or horse-drawn carriages, boats passing underneath them along the river. Pennell's mastery of etching techniques brings depth and texture to his work, emphasizing both the grandeur and grittiness of urban landscapes. This particular piece showcases his ability to capture light and shadow with precision, creating an atmospheric mood that adds intrigue to every corner of this scene. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder of how far our cities have come since then while also honoring their rich history. It stands as a testament to Joseph Pennell's artistic talent and his contribution to documenting turn-of-the-century American cities like Chicago through his engravings and etchings.
