American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926) was known for his etchings and lithographs of urban scenes. His 1880 etching, "Callowhill Street Bridge," depicts the bridge over the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. Pennell captured the bustling cityscape with meticulous detail, showcasing the bridge's construction and the surrounding buildings. The etching is a fine example of Pennell's skillful use of line and tone to create a dynamic and atmospheric scene. It is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
