Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 108, April 6, 1895" by Various is a comical periodical from the late 1800s that uses jokes and satire to comment on life in Victorian England. It's full of funny pictures and smart writing that makes fun of society, politics, and art from that time. It features stories like "April Foolosophy," which thinks about being silly and making fun of yourself, and drawings like "Doing a Cathedral," which shows how tourists act in cathedrals, making us laugh at both the strangeness and the familiar parts of being human. It often makes fun of rich people, social show-offs, and politicians, encouraging readers to think about the silly things happening around them and acting like a mirror to the time period and inviting readers to laugh at the world around them.
