Rise of the Automobile
Early Automobile Advertisements
Annotation
Duke University's digital library provides a host of searchable advertising images. Here, students can discuss the ways the automobile provided access to the countryside to women and photo enthusiasts. An in-class discussion about other forms of leisure tied to mobility might help in grounding the concept of the cultural "multiplier effect" to the car.
