Summary

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, April 18, 1891" by Various is a compilation brimming with comical articles and illustrations, offering a window into the late Victorian era. Inside, you'll find sharp-witted humor and political remarks that cleverly poke fun at the customs and happenings of the time. One part, titled "Leaves from a Candidate’s Diary," amusingly tracks the trials of a Conservative candidate as he stumbles through politics and wrestles with local news outlets, whose exaggerated takes highlight the absurdity of it all. Overall, this book uses smart writing and funny pictures to reveal what folks cared about back then, serving up an entertaining mix of laughs and social observation.
