| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, February 21, 1891" is a collection of satirical articles and illustrations produced by various authors, emblematic of the British humor magazine "Punch," which was notable during the late 19th century. This publication contains a mix of humor, commentary, and whimsical illustrations reflecting society, politics, and culture of the Victorian era. The likely topic encompasses satire and parody on contemporary issues, contributing to the discussions of the time through wit and humor. The content of this volume features a variety of humorous sketches and poems, including a whimsical fictional story titled "Through Space on a Formula," where characters embark on an absurd journey through space in an iceberg, encountering scientific folly and outrageous challenges. Other pieces critique various social conditions, such as the impact of electric lighting on crime, a lyrical commentary on tobacco usage by Tolstoy, and playful jabs at public figures and issues of the day. Each contribution encapsulates the charm of Victorian satire, using irony and humor to provide insights into the society of the time, serving both as entertainment and social commentary.
