"John Leech's Pictures of Life and Character, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by John Leech is a compilation of funny drawings and writings that make fun of society in the late 1800s. Through clever jokes and nice pictures, the book shows funny little stories and characters that capture the way people acted and the strange things they did back then. With witty sketches and short talks, John Leech, who was famous for his work in "Punch" magazine, makes fun of normal life and how society worked.
