Joseph Pennell's pictures of war work in England, reproductions of a series of drawings and lithographs of the munition works made by him with the permission and authority of the British government
A 1917 London and Philadelphia publication by American artist Joseph Pennell, reproducing his drawings and lithographs of British munitions works during the First World War, made with official government permission. The pictures are monochrome etchings or lithographs of factory yards, canals, chimneys, and interiors lit by furnace glow, with loose hatched lines and smoky tonal masses that a designer could draw on for industrial atmosphere and wartime reportage.
