EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by James Frank Sullivan titled "Roads up as usual, c1900" we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of a 20th-century urban setting. The artist's skillful pen strokes bring to life the concept of roadworks and construction that were an integral part of city life during this era. Amidst the chaos, we see a group of hardworking men diligently carrying out their jobs. Dressed in rugged attire, they embody dedication and perseverance as they work together to improve the roads for their community. The foreman stands tall, overseeing the progress with authority and expertise. Sullivan's monochrome depiction adds depth and character to this scene, emphasizing both the grittiness of manual labor and the timeless beauty found within it. The use of black and white enhances our focus on details such as tar-covered tools and worn-out equipment strewn across the street. This print is a testament to Sullivan's artistic prowess in capturing not only physical landscapes but also human stories embedded within them. It serves as a reminder that even amidst constant change, some things remain constant – like people working tirelessly towards progress. As we admire this piece from Modern Pen Drawings: European and American edited by Charles Holme, let us appreciate those who came before us, shaping our cities one brick at a time.
