EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century gelatin silver print captures a moment in time on the bustling streets of New York City. Taken in the 1890s by renowned US photographer Alice Austen, this photograph showcases women passengers seated inside an early automobile, providing a fascinating glimpse into the dawn of automotive transportation. The image exudes a sense of excitement and progress as these pioneering individuals navigate through the urban landscape. The male driver confidently steers the machine while his female companions observe their surroundings with curiosity and wonder. Their presence challenges traditional gender roles, reflecting the evolving social dynamics of the era. In this monochrome snapshot, we witness not only a technological marvel but also a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability. The car itself stands as a symbol of progress and innovation that would go on to revolutionize transportation worldwide. Published in Street Views of New York City (1896), this photograph is just one among Austin's impressive collection comprising around 8000 images spanning four decades. It serves as an invaluable historical document capturing life in America during its transformative years. Preserved by the Miriam and Ira D.
