THF201551 / Autocar Type VIII Tonneau Crossing a Stream, 1903
01
Artifact Overview
In the 1800s, horses carried Americans to places railroads and waterways did not go. The arrival of the automobile in the early 1900s brought a promise for something new -- if not better. Though the earliest cars were only accessible to the wealthy, these well-dressed women crossing a rocky stream with their chauffeur foreshadow an imminent shift in American transportation.
