EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "The Lady Driver," by George Harper, 1928 This evocative illustration by renowned British artist and delineator, George Harper, captures the essence of the independent and adventurous spirit of a lady preparing for a journey in her saloon car. Dated 1928, the image showcases the elegance and glamour of the era, as the lady dons her driving gloves with a confident and determined expression. The sleek lines of her saloon car, with its distinctive grille and headlights, reflect the modernity and sophistication of the time. Harper's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye to the lady at the wheel. Her stylish hat and fur collar add to the overall sense of refinement and luxury. The illustration was likely published in a popular magazine of the day, further underscoring the cultural significance of the image. The lady driver was a symbol of the changing roles and expectations for women in the 1920s. With newfound freedom and independence, more women were taking to the roads, defying traditional gender norms and embracing the excitement and adventure of the open road. This illustration by George Harper beautifully encapsulates the spirit of this era, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage art or automobilia. The Peter & Dawn Cope Collection, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a wide range of historic and cultural images, including this stunning illustration by George Harper. With a commitment to preserving and sharing the rich visual history of the past, the collection provides a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone with an interest in the past.
