I figured that it was a stool for getting in and out of the car that the photographer stashed behind the car. It seems pretty precarious to have four ladies sitting in a car that's being held up by a stool. Graham, I will research further. Thank you for all your info. Poor bigfoots. Finally, a day at the beach but they get stuck with amazingly high waves for such shallow water.

Hey Graham. Thanks for your input. I don't think these are the same ladies, but the one does look like she could be Alice Ramsey. Maybe she was doing a photo op with people. By the looks of it, it may have been at the end of a long day being a celebrity. I cropped and flipped the photo to show them as they're supposed to look. I think it's 4 different ladies "recreating" this event for themselves. Also, I did get this photo along with a number of other NYC area photos. No other info.

Wow! Great information Graham and Wayne. Thank you. That 1902 Wheeler may have been the basis with other parts thrown on. The shape of the "hood" is good. Thanks Graham. Wayne, I did figure that this was a fair photo but my assumption was that this was an operable car. It's funny to think of it being pulled around the country by a couple of horses. What a sight that would've been.

Ha! Well that would explain why it looked like a lot of other cars. The thought never crossed my mind. Thanks!

This is a tintype photo (so the image is reversed) of four ladies in a .... ???? I've found a few similar front ends but no match. Could be anywhere between 1898-ish and 1906-ish. Autocar? Hoffman steamer? Electric? Daimler? What do you think?
