The Steel Bridge 1910

"The Steel Bridge" is a 1910 etching by American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926). The print depicts the steel arch bridge over Niagara Falls, a popular subject for artists of the time. The artist uses detailed lines to render the structural details of the bridge, the churning waters of the falls, and the rocky landscape surrounding it. Pennell's masterful use of line conveys the power of the falls and the imposing presence of the bridge, highlighting the relationship between nature and man-made structures.
