Summary "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, May 2, 1891" by Various is a historical collection of political and social satire published during the late 19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. This volume of the long-running periodical "Punch" features a mixture of comic illustrations, poems, essays, and commentary that lampoons contemporary events, celebrities, and societal norms of the time. The likely topics covered in this collection range from critiques of British politics to whimsical takes on everyday life, reflecting the satirical spirit that the magazine was known for. The content of this volume incorporates a variety of themes and formats that illustrate the challenges and absurdities of the era. Notable pieces include humorous poems, like "A Dustman's Silent Tear," which evoke sympathy for the often-overlooked labor class. Political commentary is prevalent, particularly in the context of local elections, depicted through the fictional Candidate Pattle's experiences as he navigates the complexities of public relations and party politics. The collection also features whimsical dialogues and observations on social issues, such as marital dynamics and the changing roles of women. Overall, this volume serves as a rich tapestry of 19th-century British life, crafted with wit and sharp social critique. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
