# Judge's Revue of Summer This page presents a collage of beach and seaside vacation scenes titled "Judge's Revue of Summer." The sketches satirize typical summer leisure activities and tourist behavior: "Seaside Sketches" shows beachgoers in various poses; "Hot Dogs" depicts a vendor; "The Puzzle-Dazzle" appears to mock a children's game or amusement; "Shell-shocked" references shell-collecting; and other scenes include swimming, boating mishaps, and family recreation. The humor targets middle-class vacation culture and the somewhat absurd or undignified positions people assume while trying to enjoy leisure time. This reflects Judge magazine's tradition of gently mocking contemporary American social habits and the growing tourist industry of the early 20th century.
