Atylish Lady Motorist at the Wheel" is a captivating image from the late 1940s, showcasing a confident and smiling woman in the driver's seat of a motorcar. Dressed in an overcoat and gloves, she grips the steering wheel with determination, her gaze fixed on the road ahead. The image exudes an aura of independence and freedom, as the woman embraces the thrill of motoring during a time when automobiles were becoming increasingly popular. The woman's backwards glance over her shoulder adds an element of mystery and intrigue, as if she's inviting us to join her on her journey. The image is a testament to the growing role of women in society, as they began to assert their independence and take control of their own lives, both on and off the road. The image also highlights the importance of safety and preparedness while driving, with a spare tyre visible in the trunk of the car. John Bull Tyres, a leading tyre manufacturer of the time, would have undoubtedly appreciated the subtle promotion of their brand in the image.
