"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 105, September 9, 1893" edited by Sir Francis Burnand is a collection of funny pictures, verses, and writings that make light of life, government, and customs in England back in the Victorian days. The book catches the vibe of what was going on then, using jokes and making fun as a way to look at things critically. There are talks about how empty London feels in September, funny poems about the tricky world of investing, and characters like Mr. Toovey who deal with tricky choices about money. The book also has comical drawings and poems that show how silly politics and theater could be back then which creates a funny, thoughtful look at the rules and worries people had at the time.
