Workmen Lowering Pipe Section into a Ditch

American, 1882 - 1971

Kent created designs for corporate clients well into the 1940s. This lithograph, one of three, is from a series of six commissioned by the United States Pipe and Foundry Company of Burlington, New Jersey, and they depict the various uses of cast-iron pipe. Many thousands of reproductions of the prints appeared as inserts in trade newspapers in 1942. The Philadelphia Museum of Art collection includes one of only two known complete sets of the original lithographs.
