Euston 1886

"Euston," a 1886 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926), captures a bustling scene outside the Euston railway station in London. Pennell, known for his urban landscapes and architectural subjects, utilizes a detailed yet expressive style to depict the intricate details of the station's grand entrance, as well as the lively flow of commuters and carriages. The piece is held at the Art Institute of Chicago, offering a glimpse into the urban life of late 19th century London through the medium of etching.
