EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "In the Land of Brobdingnag, the Armour Plate Bending Press, 1917" by Joseph Pennell, transports us back to the early 20th century armaments industry. The print showcases a bustling munitions factory with an impressive armour plate bending press at its center. The industrial setting is brought to life through Pennell's meticulous attention to detail. The lithotint technique adds depth and texture to the image, capturing every intricate element of the machinery and architecture. As we explore this heritage art piece, our eyes are drawn not only to the imposing press but also to the background people who populate this scene. Inside this vast factory building, workers can be seen going about their tasks with purpose and determination. Their presence reminds us of the human labor behind these massive machines that were crucial for wartime production during that era. Through his artistry, Pennell pays homage to both the industrial might of his time and those who worked tirelessly within it. "In the Land of Brobdingnag" offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when factories like these played a significant role in shaping nations' destinies. This print now resides in the National Gallery of Art Washington as part of their esteemed collection. It serves as a powerful reminder of how art can capture not only beauty but also historical significance while preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
