Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, October 31, 1891" by Various serves as a time capsule of Victorian England through satirical writings and drawings. This compilation of articles, poems, and sketches cleverly uses humor to reflect on the era's political happenings, social oddities, and everyday concerns, like the cost of food, and the nuisances of city life. It sheds light on the quirks and follies of the time and prominent figures who contribute to them. It is an amusing yet insightful view into 19th-century Britain that demonstrates how comedy was used for both amusement and sharp social criticism.
