description:
A tinted tintype of Robert and Mary Colgate gathered with two of their children and three of Mary's brother, Samuel's children prepared for a game of croquet. Everyone is wearing a summer hat, probably straw. Robert wears a suit, and Mary a full length skirt with striped bodice. The children wear what would have been deemed "play" clothes. Mary is seated in the center, holding Sidney on her lap, Austen stands next to her. Clockwise from Austen is older brother, Gilbert, Robert Colby, son, Colgate Colby, and daughter, Jessie. Note, the two youngest boys are still dressed in skirts.
