The roaring twenties and an edwardian Talbot

Flappers are a generation of young Western women in the 1920s who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behaviour. Flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking, treating sex in a casual manner, smoking, driving automobiles, and otherwise flouting social and sexual norms.
Richard Biddulph of well-known specialist Vintage and Prestige is selling a 1910 Talbot and sent us a photo of flappers around the car. 
As you can see, the flapper had an unmistakable look. The long locks of Victorian women lay on the floors of beauty parlours as young women cut their hair to shoulder length. Hemlines of dresses rose dramatically to the knee. The cosmetics industry flowered as women used make-up in large numbers. Flappers bound their chests and wore high heels.
All that rests is the question: Richard, are the girls included?
