1912
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Road to the White City, No.II is a 1912 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a winding road climbing up a steep hillside. The path is narrow, with a few small buildings and trees clinging to the slope. The sky is faint, and the scene looks rough, like the artist used quick, sketchy lines instead of smooth ones. The texture looks grainy, almost like pencil on paper—but it’s actually a print. The artist’s name is signed in the corner, but the rest is left to your imagination. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
