The Great Chimney, Bradford

Joseph Pennell

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Great Chimney, Bradford by Joseph Pennell: A black and white etched drawing of an industrial scene. The scene depicts a cityscape with numerous buildings, factories, and chimneys. The central focus is a very tall, thick chimney with a darker top. The buildings are densely packed, with many having pitched roofs and some having smoke billowing from their chimneys. The sky is filled with smoke and clouds. The entire image is rendered in various shades of gray, with darker tones used for shadows and smoke. The composition is framed by a thin border. The image appears to be an old industrial area with a focus on manufacturing or production.
