Advertisement, "The Baker Queen Victoria is the Most Popular Electric Carriage," 1908
01
Artifact Overview
In the early 20th century, electric vehicles were thought to be ideal vehicles for women. The Baker Motor Vehicle Company produced this 1908 advertisement promoting its Queen Victoria model. The automobile was elegantly styled, noiseless, spacious, clean and "so simple that the most inexperienced can drive it" -- qualities which apparently made the model "the most popular electric vehicle for ladies' use."
