English War Work: The Cauldrons

Joseph Pennell

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of an industrial interior. The room has a high ceiling with exposed beams and rafters. Three circular lights are mounted across the top, centered. The background shows a blurry view through the industrial room into another room; a window at the back center emits bright light. Two parallel railroad tracks in center run from bottom to middle of image. To the left are two round boilers. The one on the left has a tall pipe on top; smoke billows from the top and right. The right side shows industrial shelves stocked with various objects. The artist's signature appears at bottom center. Large metal cauldrons are positioned on both sides. The room appears to be a factory or warehouse setting.
