The New Stock Exchange 1921

"The New Stock Exchange" is an etching by Joseph Pennell, depicting the bustling streets of New York City during the construction of the iconic Wall Street landmark in 1921. The artist's masterful use of line and shadow captures the energy and dynamism of the scene, with figures dwarfed by the towering scaffolding of the unfinished building. The work showcases Pennell's expertise in capturing the essence of urban life through his signature style, making it a valuable representation of early 20th-century architecture and social life in the United States.
