"Born in Philadelphia, and first studied there, but like his compatriot and friend, James McNeill Whistler, he afterwards went to Europe and made his home in London. Joseph Pennell had many etchings that depicted historic landmarks in the city of Philadelphia."
"American artist, illustrator, teacher, and author Joseph Pennell (1857–1926) was working in Germany when the Great War started. After returning to his longtime home base in England, he embarked on a hallmark World War I series of prints and drawings in that battered Allied nation. He continued the series after returning to America in 1917, as the United States entered the war."
