Scope and Content:
Photograph depicting unidentified trio of women with a car. Automobile appears early, but not of earliest design, so likely dates to 1910s or 1920s. The car is parked on a dirt road or path that is wooded on either side. Two women sit in the car, with the youngest woman at the wheel and an older woman next to her. A third woman poses jauntily with her foot on the running board. Her dress, shoes, wristwatch, and hairstyle seem to date this photograph to ca. 1915-1925. There is no information in or with the photograph, but it was found with a group of photos depicting scenes (exterior and interior) of a large home.
