Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, February 14, 1891

** "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, February 14, 1891" by Various is a compilation of comical writings and drawings from the Victorian era. This magazine humorously examines the issues, expectations, and morals of the time, mirroring the culture and attitudes of the late 19th century. Within this volume is a comedic story, "The Tolerated Husband," about a man whose financial irresponsibility forces him to depend on a rich friend to support his lavish life and gorgeous wife. The husband does not confront the problems that arise; rather, he puts up with the situation, leading to a shameful existence but outwardly pretending to be okay with it. Other parts touch on music, government, and things people complained about; all while displaying the Punch style with illustrations and intelligent comments about people. In general, this volume is a source of fun and thought on Victorian civilization. **
