The Canal at Blanzy, France is a 1911 ink by Joseph Pennell, depicting Canal, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a quiet canal lined with bare trees and brick buildings in Blanzy, France. Pennell used ink on limestone to make this print. Lithography lets him draw on flat stone, then transfer the image to paper. The strong lines and shadows feel bold and direct. The flat colors and sharp edges look almost like a photograph.

Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
