Additional Information
Photographed on September 15, 1937, by Harris and Ewing, this spirited image shows Sally Halterman, the first woman to receive a motorcycle license in Washington, D.C. Standing four feet eleven inches tall and weighing just eighty-eight pounds, Halterman posed with her machine after making history at the age of twenty-seven.
Halterman's achievement was notable given that she weighed roughly one-third as much as the motorcycle she rode. On the same day she received her license, she was also inducted into the D.C. Motorcycle Club as its first female member, joining what had until then been an exclusively male pursuit.
Harris and Ewing was one of the foremost photography studios in Washington, D.C., documenting public figures, civic milestones, and everyday life for more than seven decades. Their photographs preserve a rich visual chronicle of the capital from the early 1900s through the latter half of the twentieth century.
This remarkable photograph stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of a woman who defied the conventions of her era, offering a window into a milestone of personal determination and gender equality in 1930s America. It appeals to collectors of women's history, vintage motorcycle heritage, and Washington, D.C., photography.
