Power-House, Berlin 1914

Joseph Pennell's 1914 lithograph "Power-House, Berlin" depicts a bustling industrial scene. The print captures the imposing silhouette of a power plant, dominated by towering smokestacks, set against a backdrop of boats and cranes. The use of fine lines and subtle shading creates a sense of movement and activity, highlighting the energy and scale of the industrial complex. This piece is a striking example of Pennell's signature style, where he captures the dynamism of modern life through the lens of urban landscapes and industrial structures.
