Automobile Calendar for 1906 — Edward Penfield

Edward Penfield’s Automobile Calendar for 1906 captures the style and novelty of early motoring through a sharply composed image of a woman standing beside a vivid blue automobile. Her long golden-yellow driving coat, gloves, broad hat, and windblown scarf create a confident silhouette against the restrained cream background.

Created around 1905, the poster uses bold outlines, simplified forms, and a limited but saturated palette characteristic of Penfield’s graphic work. The automobile appears only partially, allowing the fashionable motorist to dominate the composition while still placing the image firmly within the emerging visual culture of the automobile age.
