English War Work: The Big Bug

Joseph Pennell

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a World War I biplane inside a hangar. The plane faces left and is mostly in shadow. It has two wings on each side that are similar in shape and size, with the top wing slightly overlapping the bottom. The plane's propeller has two blades. Behind the plane to the right are several people. In the background, another plane and hangar are visible through the open hangar door. The artist's signature appears twice in the bottom corners. The title is "The Big Bug".
