Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 102, May 21, 1892

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 102, May 21, 1892" by Various is a treasure of Victorian-era wit, delivered through a blend of cartoons, poetry, and humorous articles commenting on the social and political landscape of the time. This collection uses funny sketches and poems to look at the lives of people in the 1890s; they bring up questions on women’s education and positions, as well as offer smart views on political happenings and day-to-day life. The writing challenges old beliefs by flipping them on their head in a funny way, like we see when a man visits a women’s college and is surprised to witness the students’ athletic abilities, turning old ideas about women’s physical strength upside down. Through clever pictures and a cheerful feel, the volume keeps with the magazine's tradition of using humor as a way to point out what's strange or wrong in society.
