About the Item
James Penney was widely known for his New Yorker covers as well as his paintings and prints. This lithograph of male laborers, Street Pavers, reminds us of the back-breaking labor that supports us all. And of course the heavy industrial machinery is always appreciated.
Penney was from Saint Joseph, Missouri. He trained in NYC at the Art Students League. The New-York Historical Society and the Library of Congress both have collections of his work.
Signed in ink; titled, dated, and annotated 'Proof,' in pencil.

ABOUT THE IMAGE
The Sixth Avenue El was constructed in the late 1870s by the Gilbert Elevated Railway and reorganized as the Metropolitan Elevated Railway. By 1878, it was running from Rector Street to 58th Street.
