Excerpt from Joseph Pennell's Pictures of War Work in England: Reproductions of a Series of Drawings and Lithographs of the Munition Works Made by Him With the Permission and Authority of the British Government; With Notes by the Artist and With an Introduction Falstaff was a creation perhaps, or the Sistine sibyls; there we have indubitably an end con ceived and sought and achieved; but did these inventors and business organizers do more than heed certain unavoidable imperatives? Seeking coal, they were obliged to mine in a certain way; seeking steel, they had to do this and this and not that and that; seeking profit they had to obey the imperative of economy. So little did they plan their ends that most of these manufac turers speak with a kind of astonishment of the deadly use to which their works are put. They find themselves making the new war as a man might wake out of some drugged condition to find himself strangling his mother.
