This portrait is catalogued as a studio image of Miss Elinor Blevins, identified as one of the women auto racers of the period. In 1918, women taking part in automobile racing were still unusual, and a portrait that presents a woman in that role stood out from the more common society and studio images of the day. The picture comes from Harris & Ewing, a Washington, D.C., studio founded in 1905 that documented politicians, officials, and newsworthy people in the capital for decades. Its records make the studio's work useful to researchers looking at how women's public roles were pictured in the late 1910s.
