This appears to be taken at the same time as:

"Ladies' 4-in-hand-club [Harriet Alexander driving] (LOC)" by library_of_congress

If so, this would be Harriet Alexander driving ("whip") -- and was likely taken in Central Park.

article on the process of photochrom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochrom "A litho stone is coated with a thin layer of purified bitumen dissolved in benzene. A reversed half-tone negative is then pressed against this light-sensitive coating and an exposure in daylight made (taking from 10–30 minutes in summer, to several hours in winter). The bitumen hardens and becomes resistant to normal solvents in proportion to the light. The coating is then washed in turpentine solutions, removing the unhardened bitumen. It is then retouched in the tonal scale of the chosen color to strengthen or soften the tones as required. Each tint needs a separate stone bearing the appropriate retouched image, and prints are usually produced by at least six, and more commonly from 10 to 15 tint stones.[4]"

If so, this would be Harriet Alexander driving ("whip") -- and may very well be in Central Park.

query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9900EEDA173FE633A... indicates that May 8, 1913 will be the date for the garden party at the New York Zoological Society. "The Ladies Four-in-Hand Driving Club will have its race from the Colony Club to the Westchester Club on the same day and upon its return, it plans to stop at the park and join the party." A quick search of the NYT shows that Harriet Alexander was winning four-in-hand driving competitions for years.
