Behind Driver Drivers Motorist Olive Wheel 1907 Quinton
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and progress embodied by young actress Olive Quinton as she confidently takes the wheel of the innovative Adams car in 1907. With a determined gaze and a stylish Edwardian hat adorning her head, Olive proudly showcases her role as a pioneering woman motorist during an era when automobiles were becoming increasingly popular. The Adams car, with its distinctive design and unique feature of only requiring the driver to push pedals, represented a significant step forward in the development of the automobile industry. The photograph transports us back to the early 1900s, a time when transportation and travel were undergoing a revolutionary transformation. Olive Quinton, an actress known for her daring roles, embraced this new technology and became an inspiration for women seeking independence and freedom on the open road. The image is a testament to the courage and determination of early women motorists, who defied societal norms and embraced the thrill of motoring. Olive Quinton's bold presence behind the wheel serves as a reminder of the remarkable achievements of women in the early days of automobile history. This photograph is not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a celebration of the spirit of innovation and the indomitable human spirit.
