English War Work: From othe Tops of the Furnaces

Joseph Pennell

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white sketch of an industrial scene. Large structures with tall, thick chimneys dominate the left and right sides. A bridge-like structure with a rounded top crosses over an opening in the center, where people are gathered. A large group of people stand below the bridge on the right side, and a smaller group with a cart is on the left. A train or trolley is on the bridge, emitting smoke. In the background, a bridge and more industrial structures are visible, with smoke rising from several areas. The overall atmosphere suggests a busy industrial setting. The image is signed by the artist in the bottom center.
