EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Little Motorist" by Ellen Jessie Andrews, dates back to 1905 and offers a glimpse into the early days of automobile culture. The young girl in the image sits confidently in the driver's seat, her eyes focused on the road ahead, a steering wheel in her small hands, and a determined expression on her face. Her fashionable outfit, complete with a hat adorned with a large bow, adds an air of elegance to the scene. The photograph, which was likely taken as a postcard, reflects the excitement and novelty of automobiles during the early 1900s. Motor vehicles were still a relatively new invention, and owning one was a sign of wealth and status. The image of a young girl at the wheel, however, suggests that the automobile was becoming more accessible to a wider audience. Ellen Jessie Andrews (1868-1941) was an American photographer known for her portraits of children and everyday life. Her work often captured the innocence and playfulness of childhood, but in this image, she presents a young girl who is not only playful but also independent and adventurous. The photograph is a testament to the changing roles of women and the growing influence of technology in everyday life during the early 20th century.
