Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 103, July 23, 1892" by Various is a comedic compilation that gives readers a peek into the social and political world of late 1800s Britain. This installment in the satirical magazine series uses clever jokes and funny drawings to show what life was like in the Victorian times. From regular life to political opinions, this book goes over many topics with sketches, poems, and conversations which reveal how silly society could be back then. Readers will find funny pictures making fun of politics, like the problems people had trying to get votes during elections, along with what different people thought about important issues. The humor comes from putting normal situations next to big political events, pointing out the gap between the rich and the poor. Filled with amusing stories and drawings, this collection makes people think about how society was changing, and how class struggles and getting involved in your community were still important back when Britain was going through big changes.
