EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting image captured by Joseph Pennell in 1918 depicts a scene of devastation and despair. Titled "PENNELL: NEW YORK CITY. The Statue of Liberty in ruins and New York City in flames" it serves as an illustration for a Liberty Bonds poster titled "That liberty shall not perish from the earth". In this watercolor masterpiece, Pennell portrays the iconic Statue of Liberty reduced to rubble, standing amidst the chaos of a burning New York City. The flames engulfing the cityscape symbolize the destructive forces unleashed during World War I. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth a sense of realism that is both awe-inspiring and chilling. Each stroke captures the intensity of fire, while every fragment of debris conveys the magnitude of destruction caused by war. Pennell's work serves as a poignant reminder that even symbols as enduring as Lady Liberty can be threatened by conflict. It calls upon viewers to reflect on their own responsibility in preserving freedom and unity. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era when hope was tested but never extinguished. Through his artistry, Pennell urges us to remember our shared history and strive towards building a world where liberty will always triumph over adversity.
