This isn’t exactly carriage- or driving-related … except that I found it on the cover of the April 17, 1897, issue of Rider and Driver.
This is “George A. Steinway, of New York, from a photograph taken in front of the Pyramids of Ghizeh, Egypt, February 1896.”
From a quick bit of research, I think this is the same George Steinway whose grandfather founded the famous piano-making company of the same name. He (George) died two years after this photo was taken, in a steamship accident while on his way to Europe.
