1916
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
English War Work: Munitions City, No. 1 is a 1916 by Joseph Pennell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy industrial scene with tall smokestacks and a bridge in the foreground. The artist used quick, rough lines to draw factories, stacks of materials, and a river below. Shadows and light create a gritty, textured look. The drawing focuses on wartime work—likely making supplies for the war effort. The artist signed it in the corner, adding a personal touch to the scene. Next, look up Joseph Pennell (American, 1857–1926) to see more of his bold, detailed sketches.
