London Night, Whiskey and Tea 1909

"London Night, Whiskey and Tea" is a 1909 lithograph by American artist Joseph Pennell, who was known for his depictions of urban life and the industrial landscape. The print shows a nighttime view of the city, with a prominent tall tower illuminated by light, and the Thames River flowing through the scene. The city's buildings are silhouetted against the dark sky, and the reflection of the light in the river creates a sense of mystery and intrigue, drawing viewers into Pennell’s interpretation of London’s nocturnal energy.
