Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.[1] A prolific artist, he spent most of his working life in Europe, and developed an interest in landmarks, landscapes, and industrial scenes around the world.[1] A student of James Lambdin and Thomas Eakins, he was later influenced by James McNeill Whistler.[2] He was married to author Elizabeth Robins, and he also was a writer.
In 1914, he published The Jew at Home: Impressions of a Summer and Autumn Spent with Him (1892) followed by photo-documentary works including Lithographs of War (1914),[3] Pictures of the Wonders of Work (1915),[3][4] and The Adventures of an Illustrator (1925).[5] In later life, he and wife Elizabeth both wrote art criticism and co-authored books.
