Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, July 25, 1891" by Various is a magazine offering a funny look at life in the late 1800s. Full of articles, funny drawings (cartoons), and poems, it talks about what was happening then, like in politics and society. You might find opera reviews, jokes about politics, and everyday life in London. For example, it gives opinions on operas like "Aïda" and "Otello", pointing out what's good and bad about the singing and how they look on stage. There are also funny stories, like a made-up talk between people running for office and the public, and silly poems that make fun of things like riding public transport. It's meant to be fun to read, but also shows how people thought and felt about things in that time, using jokes to get people interested.
