             Caption label from exhibit "World War I ...": Joseph Pennell's Machinery of War. Joseph Pennell's wartime drawings and prints continued his lifelong fascination with industrial subjects a theme he called the "Wonder of Work." Pennell was granted special access to such sensitive sites as shipyards and munitions factories and the backs of his drawings often bear censor clearance stamps. As a Quaker who was opposed to war, Pennell's ambivalence comes through in his comment: " ... it is the working of the great machinery in the great mills which I find so inspiring so impressive. ... And if only the engines turned out were engines of peace how much better would the world be."
