Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, October 17, 1891" by Various is a humorous magazine that makes fun of life in the late 1800s. Through funny stories, poems, and drawings, it shows what people thought about important things happening back then. One story looks at how silly it is to trust a machine that says it can tell what a person is like just by looking at their hair, as told through characters like Lottie and Dolph. The collection of writings uses jokes to point out the strange things people do and the problems in society, also talking about big names like William Henry Smith and making light of what was happening in politics and culture. The magazine is filled with entertainment that shows how people lived and what they cared about during the Victorian times.
