EDITORS COMMENTS
In this advertisement from 1915, D. H Evans showcases their latest offering for women who are embracing the newfound freedom of motoring. The image, published by Illustrated London News Ltd and available through Mary Evans Prints Online, features two elegant women donning chic motor veils and storm hats from the renowned Oxford Street, London retailer. The first woman, dressed in a stylish Ninon motor veil, exudes confidence and sophistication as she confidently grips the wheel of a vintage car. Her veil, made of lightweight and breathable material, is designed to protect her hair and face from the wind and debris while allowing her to maintain an unobstructed view of the road. The second woman, clad in an oilsilk storm hat, stands resilient against the elements. Her hat, with its distinctive ribbed design and wide brim, shields her from rain and wind, making it the perfect accessory for those unexpected downpours during motor trips. The advertisement highlights the importance of fashionable yet practical headwear for women during the motoring era. D. H Evans, a pioneer in providing women with the latest trends, recognized the need for weather-resistant and functional accessories for the growing number of motorists. With their Ninon and oilsilk motor veils and storm hats, they catered to the demands of the modern woman, who sought both style and protection on the open road. This evocative advertisement not only showcases the fashionable headwear available at D. H Evans but also offers a glimpse into the changing roles and expectations of women during the early 20th century. The image captures the spirit of adventure and independence that came with the advent of motoring, and the determination of women to embrace it with grace and style.
