Munsey's Magazine, Vol. 38, No. 1

This October 1907 issue of Munsey's Magazine contains an illustrated article on London etchings by Philadelphia artist Joseph Pennell, written by Fitzroy Carrington. The piece surveys Pennell's extensive series of nearly one hundred contemporary London etchings, comparing them favorably to historical precedents like Hollar and Meryon. Carrington analyzes Pennell's artistic technique—his economical line-work, compositional arrangements, and ability to capture individual character amid urban scenes—in plates depicting St. Paul's, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Lincoln's Inn Fields, and street scenes showing cabs, pedestrians, and traffic. The article emphasizes Pennell's achievement in rendering London's evolving architecture and daily life with both technical precision and poetic beauty. The issue also contains a short poem by Thomas Walsh titled "Where Dreams Go By," and the opening of a serialized story "Michael" by George Randolph Chester about a factory worker observing his coworker Dan Lennon falling ill at a steel mill.
