Description
Photograph of an old man and young boy playing croquet, [s.d]. The old man, on the left, in a dark, pinstriped suit, appears to be speaking to the boy. In his left hand, he holds a mallet. With his right hand, he seems to point at two balls on the ground between them next to a wicket. The boy, in a sweater and hood, looks off to the right of the camera, holding a mallet in his right hand, which comes up to his hip. In the background, several men and women in hats, coats, and dresses sit on benches or stand nearby watching. Behind them, tall trees obscure buildings beyond.
