Title
Beach at Cape May
Description
English: Cape May, New Jersey, is among the oldest American seaside resorts, hosting vacationers from the mid-Atlantic region from the 18th century forward. In this drawing, Miller pokes gentle fun at leisure travelers. Two men seated on folding stools sit on the sand despite clouds of annoying insects. The caption reads:

Consolation for the afflicted!-who cannot go to Cape May,-viz- "Can't get away Club", -"when there is a land breeze,-two gangs of

mosquitoes are laid on!!-the wide-awake squad, reserved for the night!!!"
