Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 98, April 26 1890

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 98, April 26 1890" by Various is a humorous magazine that gives funny opinions on what was happening socially and politically at the time it was made. This issue, similar to the ones before it, contains comedic illustrations, short stories, and writings created during the late 1800s. It makes fun of British society during the Victorian era, handling subjects like class differences, government, and funny parts of society through jokes and imitations. Inside this issue are funny plays, poems, and smart observations on things happening then, like a fake musical play called "Under the Harrow," mixing comedy and drama. This play tells a funny story of mixed-up love connections, misunderstandings, and silly situations with people like Lord Bleshugh and Miss Verbena. This clever group pokes fun at the silliness of love while talking about what society expects, which shows the humor of "Punch." Also, this magazine gives reviews on current events and plays, giving readers fun and ideas about their community.
