    They are actually playing roque, an American variant of croquet played on hard sand or clay. It was extremely popular in the early 20th century.

    Cool. Added to commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Empress_of_Canada_%28... Thanks for posting these!
  • Bill Rosmus said:
    The very abrupt and sharp lines on his sleeves, especially his right sleeve (to the left in the photo) make this look like he or his uniform was photoshopped into the photo. Especially where his right wrist comes out of the sleeve. The arm has one level of light and the coat is jet black as if the light is much lower or it was from another photo. I would have expected to see some gradation. I could be wrong, sure, but that is the impression I get.
