Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, October 28th 1893" by Various is a humorous magazine that acts as a time capsule of late 19th-century British society. Under the editorial guidance of Sir Francis Burnand, it uses wit, satire, poems and playful illustrations to comment on Victorian life, with the publication offering humorous verses between a landlord and a tenant, diary entries, and music hall scenes that highlight peculiar social interactions and everyday irritations while providing both laughter and criticism.
