Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 98, March 1, 1890" by Various is a comedic magazine from the Victorian era that uses jokes and drawings to make fun of what was happening in society. The pages are filled with funny stories, pictures, and short plays that tease people and ideas of the time, like politicians and fancy theater-goers. The writings cover a wide range of subjects, such as pointing out the foolishness of people trying to climb the social ladder, what it meant to be a "Corinthian Lady", and even the differences between social classes. Everything is laced with cleverness, to entertain readers while also giving them something to think about regarding the world around them.
