Description
This is an original, authentic 1908 vintage poster lithograph by American illustrator Maud Stumm (1866-1935), featuring a fashionable woman enjoying a Sunday drive in her new horseless carriage.
This very good condition Art Nouveau original shows a lady motorist in a striking red motoring coat and veil at the wheel of an early automobile, hand on the tiller-wheel with a brass headlamp before her. You can sense the speed she is driving by the flow of her dress and scarf streaming in the wind – a thrilling image of freedom, movement and the modern 1908 woman.
Printed as an original stone lithograph in 1908 by issuer The Gray Litho Co., New York, N.Y., printer Gray Litho Co. Period motoring series companion to Stumm’s 1908 leisure girls. Technique: chromolithograph/stone lithography on period wove paper. Signed in the stone, lower left: Maud Stumm.
Condition: Vintage original, very good condition, previously owned. Light age toning expected for 1908, bright red impression remarkably fresh. Unbacked. Early motoring images of women drivers are scarce and highly displayable for automobile, fashion, and Edwardian collectors.
Own an authenticated vintage poster from an IVPDA-certified gallery/dealer. Original 1908 motoring lithographs by listed artist Stumm document the birth of the automobile age and the Gibson Girl era.
