Excerpt from Joseph Pennell's Pictures of the Wonder of Reproductions of a Series of Drawings, Etchings, Lithographs, Made by Him About the World, 1881-1915

It is far easier to paint a heavenly host or a dream city in one's studio than to make a decoration out of a group of miners, or to draw a rolling mill in full blast. Yet one of these subjects can be as noble as the other, as Whistler proved, when he showed for the first time how in London the poor buildings lose themselves in the dim sky, and the tall chimneys become campanile, and the warehouses are palaces in the night, and the whole city hangs in the heavens and fairyland is before us. That is the Gospel of the Wonder of Work.
