# "A Summer See" - Judge Magazine, July 16, 1921 This illustration by R.B. Fuller accompanies Stephen Leacock's article "My Hotel Breakfast." The artwork depicts a whimsical, dreamlike scene: a nude or semi-nude figure stands in shallow water amid fantastical sea creatures with curled tentacles, while clouds billow above. The style is decorative and surreal rather than overtly political satire. The title "A Summer See" appears to be a visual pun—"see" rather than "sea." The image likely complements Leacock's humorous essay about hotel dining, using imaginative artwork to evoke leisurely vacation fantasies. The 1921 date places this during the Jazz Age, when lighter, more decorative illustration styles were popular in American magazines.
