Two ladies driving an electric car (1899)

Mrs. Östberg and Mrs. Halldin riding a (prob.) French made electric car in Stockholm in 1899. At the time electric cars were marketed "as suitable vehicles for women drivers due to their ease of operation" both in Europe and the US. My colorization of Oscar Halldin´s photo in the SCIF.se archive.
