Summary

Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, September 20, 1890, by various authors, is a comical magazine that uses jokes and satire to look at life in the late 1800s in London. This book makes fun of what was happening back then with funny drawings and stories. The book talks about many things, like what it's like to visit places and also reviews of shows. For example, the book talks about how houses and people really are in Ostend, making fun of how things aren't always what they seem at these entertainment venues. It also talks about the show "A Million of Money," teasing how the cool stage effects were better than the story itself. The book jokes about everything from how American travelers act to the funny things people do in the suburbs. It's a fun and thought-provoking read for anyone who loves a good laugh and wants to spot all of the follies of society.
