Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 98 February 15, 1890" by Various is a journey back to Victorian England through a collection of satirical wit and humor. Within these pages, societal expectations, political absurdities, and everyday life are hilariously skewered through lively sketches, clever poems, and cutting commentary, offering a vibrant and often ironic look at the era's norms and values. From poking fun at formal balls to dissecting gender roles and commenting on debates about labor and the military, each piece is accompanied by stylized illustrations that amplify both the humor and insight, painting a vivid portrait of a world ripe for laughter and reflection. It's a testament to the power of wit to capture the spirit of a time.
