# Judge Summer Resort Guide (June 18, 1920) This is a cover for Judge's "Summer Resort Guide"—a lighthearted compilation issue about vacation destinations. The illustration satirizes the diverse social scene at fashionable American summer resorts during the 1920s. The cartoon depicts various leisure activities: golf, tennis, swimming, and socializing. The figures represent different social types—a bellhop, fashionably dressed women in swimwear, children playing, and men in sporting attire. The style reflects 1920s social dynamics, including the "New Woman" gaining public visibility in bathing suits and athletic pursuits. The satire likely mocks the pretensions of resort culture and the mixing of social classes in these vacation spaces. The exaggerated, cartoonish portrayal emphasizes the comedy inherent in Americans' summer leisure activities during this prosperous era.
