Joseph Pennell evokes complex reactions from connoisseurs of etchings, for he was both a fervent anti-Semite and a master of his craft. He was largely self taught, but acknowledged that James McNeill Whistler was "the greatest etcher of them all… [he] is and always will be my master." The atmospheric tone and choice of subject of this print owe much to Whistler's influence.
