Joseph Pennell's pictures of war work in America : reproductions of a series of lithographs of munition works made by him with the permission and authority of the United States government, with notes and an introduction by the artist
A 1918 portfolio from J.B. Lippincott reproducing Joseph Pennell's lithographs of American munition plants, shipyards and steel mills, drawn with government permission and issued with the artist's own notes for a wartime public. The plates are dense crayon-on-stone interiors: hydraulic presses, gantry cranes, hanging chains and shafts of light, with small workmen giving scale and usable industrial silhouettes.
