Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 102, February 20, 1892" by Various is a compilation of funny and mocking writings from a British magazine in the late 1800s that uses jokes and drawings to talk about what was happening in society. The book makes fun of life in the Victorian times talking about differences between rich and poor, city problems, and politics. "Jim's Jottings" tells about Ginger Jimmy, who complains about the awful places where poor people live and points out that powerful people talk about "freedom" but don't help anyone who is struggling. The writers use jokes to show how unfair things are, criticizing rich people who don't care about the poor and the book uses funny stories, poems, and pictures to share all of this.
