Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 105, July 29th 1893" by Various is a funny magazine from the late 1800s that makes fun of different parts of society, politics, and culture. It's full of jokes, poems, and pictures that show what life was like back then, using humor to talk about what was happening in the world. This book has funny ads, silly poems, and playful talks that point out the crazy things in Victorian life, like schools, customs, and politics. You'll find fake ads for schools that focus on building strong muscles, jokes about how people acted, and funny takes on things happening then, like opera and concerns about other countries. The combination of jokes and social commentary lets readers laugh and think about the society it shows.
