JOSEPH PENNEIvL, artist, illustrator 
 ^ and author, was born in Philadelphia, 
 Pennsylvania, July 4, 1860. He was a 
 student at the Pennsylvania Academy of 
 the Fine Arts and the Pennsylvania 
 School of Industrial Art. 
 
 In 1882 he went to New Orleans to il- 
 lustrate some articles on that city by 
 George W. Cable, and in the following 
 year he went to Italy to make the illus- 
 trations for "Tuscan Cities," by William 
 Dean Howells. In 1884 he again went 
 to Europe, where he has remained ever 
 since, living for the greater part of the 
 time in London. 
 
 Among works of this early period were 
 the illustrations for "The Sa6ne: a 
 summer voyage," by Philip Gilbert 
 Hamerton, and the series of illustrations 
 for the "English Cathedrals" of Mrs. 
 Schuyler van Rensselaer, which first ap- 
 peared from 1887 to 1890 in the Century 
 Magazine. Mrs. Pennell was the author 
 of several of the earlier books and 
 articles illustrated by Mr. Pennell. The 
 5 
 
first of these was " Our Canterbury Pil- 
 grimage," wliicli was published in 1885, 
 and followed by other books from year 
 to year, the most recent being " French 
 Cathedrals" (1909). 
 
 In his work in illustration Mr. Pennell 
 has been associated with many eminent 
 authors. He was the illustrator of " A 
 Little Tour in France," by Henry James 
 (1899); " Italian Journeys," by William 
 Dean Howells (1901); "East London," 
 by Sir Walter Besant; " Castilian Days," 
 by John Hay (1903); Andrew Lang's 
 "Edinburgh;" Maurice Hewlett's " Road 
 in Tuscany" (1904); "English Hours," 
 by Henry James; F. Marion Crawford's 
 "Salve Venetia" (1905), and many 
 other books. 
 
 Mr. Pennell is author as well as illus- 
 trator, and besides books written in collab- 
 oration with his wife there have been 
 several written entirely by Mr. Pennell. 
 His works on illustration have proved a 
 needed contribution to art literature. The 
 most recent book written jointly by Mr. 
 
and Mrs. Pennell is the authorized " Life 
 of James McNeill Whistler," which was 
 published in 1908. 
 
 Mr. Pennell is a member of the Inter- 
 national Society of Painters, Sculptors 
 and Gravers, the National Academy of 
 Desigfn, National Institute of Arts and 
 Letters, London Society of Illustrators, 
 Architectural League of New York, and 
 of etching societies in Europe and Amer- 
 ica. He was chairman of the Interna- 
 tional Jury of Awards for Engravings and 
 Lithographs, Universal Exposition, St. 
 Louis, 1904. 
 
 He has been awarded honors as follows : 
 Honorable Mention, Paris Exposition, 
 1889; Medal, Art Club of Philadelphia, 
 1892; Medal, Columbian Exposition, 
 Chicago, 1893 ; Silver Medal, Pan Amer-
