Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 108, June 15th, 1895" by Various is a funny look at Victorian England through satire and humor from the late 1800s. The book uses funny pictures and smart writing to make fun of what was happening in society, politics, and culture back then. Expect jokes about things like community events, church leaders talking about serious issues, and even silly arguments about poetry. Sir Francis Burnand, who was in charge of the magazine, fills it with funny drawings and poems that poke fun at everything from strange clubs to the weird rules people followed about poetry, giving readers a lively picture of what life was like in England at the time with political issues.
