The caption names Miss J. Suffern and Frank Hiscock posed in a carriage in New York, a pairing that places a private outing on a city street in the autumn of 1909. Photographs like this one came from the Bain News Service, which George Grantham Bain founded to supply newspapers with pictures of people and events in New York. By 1909 the horse-drawn carriage was giving way to the automobile on the city's streets, so the picture also records a mode of travel that was quickly becoming old-fashioned. The names and details come from the caption cards and have not been independently verified.
