Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines. A prolific artist, he spent most of his working life in Europe, and developed an interest in landmarks, landscapes, and industrial scenes around the world. A student of James Lambdin and Thomas Eakins, he was later influenced by James McNeill Whistler.
He was married to author Elizabeth Robins, with whom he often collaborated on articles and books. They both wrote about art criticism under their own names. In 1914, he published The Jew at Home: Impressions of a Summer and Autumn Spent with Him (1892), followed by photo-documentary works including Lithographs of War (1914), Pictures of the Wonders of Work (1915), and The Adventures of an Illustrator (1925).
