This is one of a set of twelve watercolors commissioned by James Hazen Hyde (1876-1959) of Mr. Hyde's four-horse coach "Liberty" that depicts scenes along the road on the 1903 run between New York and Lakewood. The society also owns an original illustration by Edward Penfield (q.v.) for use on the poster advertising this route (1947.90). The distance covered by the coach was seventy-nine miles, and eleven teams of horses were used daily.

Coaching parties to the racetrack and to the country were favorite pastimes with New York society at the turn of the twentieth century. The coach "Good Times," driven by Aurel Batunyi, is shown leaving the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Fifth Avenue at 34th Street. Its route was north on Fifth Avenue, through Harlem, and along the Viaduct.

This sketch is one of nineteen drawings made by the baroness at the Economical School (Ecole Economique) which Baron Hyde de Neuville was instrumental in founding in New York in 1810 "to promote instruction, to render it economical, and to afford some education to the children of French emigrants and other strangers." The sketches represent students and others on the premises in various poses of study and daily activity.
