1905
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Portrait of Joseph Pennell printing is a 1905 by Archibald Standish Hartrick, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a man hunched over a printing press, his hands gripping a long lever. The room around him is simple—just a window with bars and a wall with a door. The lines are rough and dark, focusing on the press’s big wheel and the man’s intense posture. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to show movement and effort. This print is from around 1900–1910, capturing a moment of hard work in a print shop. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
