Summary

"Punch, Or The London Charivari, Volume 101, July 11, 1891" by Various is a comedic and satirical magazine from the Victorian era that uses sketches, poems, and articles to poke fun at the social and political issues of the time. This medley of wit targets the weird habits of society by showcasing scenes from London life, such as public arguments and social climbing, as well as commentary on notable events which are all portrayed with a humorous tone. The eccentric characters, like a young socialist and a spiritualist, have absurd arguments, showing real people's reactions to important events and the interactions foreigners have when visiting with British people. The book uses light-hearted poems and letters to explore vanity, class, social ambition and keeps a close watch on the mistakes of those in society.
