The Old and the New, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph created by Joseph Pennell in the early 20th century. This remarkable artwork, now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, captures a unique juxtaposition between tradition and progress. In this print, Pennell skillfully portrays an estuary where ships of different eras coexist side by side. The artist's attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate the stark contrast between old sailing vessels and modern steamships. The weathered docks and wharves serve as witnesses to centuries of trade and transportation along this bustling river port. The lithotint technique employed by Pennell adds depth to the image, enhancing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this scene from yesteryears, we are transported back in time when maritime commerce was at its peak. "The Old and the New" not only showcases Pennell's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving world. It prompts us to reflect on how advancements in technology have transformed our modes of transportation over time while honoring the rich heritage that shaped our present-day society. This print is more than just a work of art; it encapsulates history within its monochromatic palette. It invites us to contemplate our place within an ever-changing landscape while appreciating the beauty found in both tradition and progress.
