EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd in 1905, showcases a fashionable woman donning a full-length motoring coat, a must-have accessory for women of the Edwardian era who embraced the newfound freedom of automobile travel. The high-necked, dust-resistant coat, complete with a chic hat and scarf, protected her from the elements and the grime of the road. The woman's outfit exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, with the coat's tailored lines and structured silhouette accentuating her figure. The coat's long length ensured that she remained covered and comfortable while navigating the rough terrain of the early automobile roads. The hat, adorned with a ribbon and feather, adds a touch of femininity to the outfit, while the scarf wrapped around her neck provides an extra layer of warmth. The woman's determined expression and confident posture suggest that she is ready for the adventure of motoring, embodying the spirit of the modern, independent woman of the early 1900s. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and societal norms of the time. The full-length motoring coat was a symbol of progress and freedom, allowing women to explore the world beyond their homes and embrace the excitement of the automobile age.
