Joseph Pennell American
Not on view
Pennell, a Philadelphia-born Quaker, spent the first two decades of his career abroad, living primarily in London, where he became a close associate of Whistler. Here, he etching represents a building on the Strand in London that survived the Great Fire of 1666. Distinguished by leaded windows, it housed the exclusive Wig and Pen Club for lawyers and journalists with the shop at street level occupied by a bookseller.
