Swan At Leadenhall. London.

Signed in pencil.. The Swan at Leadenhall, London is an etching by Joseph Pennell made in 1903. It shows the old Swan Tavern in Leadenhall Market, surrounded by the narrow streets of the city. Pennell’s careful linework captures both the texture of the buildings and the movement of daily life, with people and carriages passing through the busy market. The print reflects his love for London’s older quarters and his talent for turning ordinary city scenes into works full of character and atmosphere.
