"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 98, May 17, 1890" by Various is a compilation that showcases the clever writing, artwork, and mocking views that were common in the late 1800s. As a magazine famous for its smart and funny views on current events, social customs, and governmental issues, this edition from 1890 gives us a peek into the lively culture of that time. This volume likely dives into amusing looks at theater shows, wise cracks about how people acted, and the constant back-and-forth of political talk, all through a funny viewpoint. Inside, you'll find reviews of plays that offer both praise and complaints, especially when it comes to stars like Mrs. Langtry and Paderewski. The light essays touch on political ideas such as working person's rights and opinions on new laws, showing the conflicts of the era. Also, funny tales and pictures bring the social scene to life, ranging from the rich to the working class. The writing switches between silly jokes and sharp comments, encouraging people to think about the important issues of their time in a fun way.
