Savage's Joy Makers" names this 1915 group, which was photographed at High Hill Beach on Long Island. The title suggests a staff troupe hired to entertain guests during the summer season, though the record does not say what their roles were. Seaside resorts on Long Island drew many city families in the 1910s, and hotels often kept entertainers and service staff for dances, concerts, and daytime diversions. Portraits like this one, taken for the group itself, show how resort employees presented themselves to the public and to one another at the height of the season.
