Automobile Calendar for 1906



I'm fascinated by vintage posters and advertisements. They seem so elegant and artistic compared with what we see today - not better than those of today but a wholly different style and culture because times have changed so much.

This poster was created by Edward Penfield ( 1866 -1925 ) and published by Moffat, Yard & Co., New York.
It shows a woman wearing a driving coat, gloves and a hat secured by a scarf with a partial view of an automobile in the background. I love the contrasting blue and yellow of the coat and the car !
