Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 103, September 24, 1892" by Various is a collection of satirical writings that paints a funny yet critical picture of life in the late 1800s. Packed with witty articles, funny pictures, and commentary on what was happening in politics, this book shows what people thought and cared about back then. A common theme includes making light of social classes, discussing issues in society and culture while using humor to make points about society's flaws. The magazine features comical stories, poems, and articles that discuss current events and the different levels of British society, like the story of 'Arry's funny misadventures with unusual baths; there is also thoughtful social critique, seen in the satire of newspapers, those who seek literary fame, and arguments in politics.
