"The Elinor Cross, in Front of Charing Cross Railway Station" is a 1906 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell. The artwork depicts a bustling London street scene, featuring the iconic Elinor Cross monument, a prominent landmark. The detailed rendering of the cityscape, including the surrounding buildings and the figures of people and horse-drawn carriages, reflects Pennell's mastery of this printmaking technique. The use of fine lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and movement, capturing the dynamism of urban life at the turn of the 20th century. The etching is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
