"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 146, February 25, 1914" by Various is a humorous collection of satirical writings and illustrations that cleverly comments on early 1900s British society. The publication uses wit to discuss everything from political matters to everyday social behaviors. Notable figures and situations are teased through humorous stories. Certain sections mock the personal troubles of royalty, like the German Crown Prince getting mumps, other pieces make light of serious ideas like estimates around civil war, while still other pieces explore the silliness of social traditions and governmental actions. Designed to be lighthearted and funny, the collection uses both words and pictures to encourage people to think about what was happening in their world with a smile.
