Summary "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, July 19, 1890" by Various is a satirical publication crafted during the late 19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. This book is part of a long-running magazine that features a collection of humorous illustrations, articles, and reviews that reflect the society, politics, and culture of its time. The likely topic revolves around social commentary, caricatures, and a blend of satire that critiques various elements of British life and the prevailing attitudes of the day. The content of this particular volume includes a range of humorous sketches and articles poking fun at notable contemporary figures and events, such as Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which is reviewed critically by the fictional Baron character. There are also playful takes on societal norms, advertisements demanding 'urgent cases' like finding a reliable whipping for a troublesome child, and amusing forecasts of societal collapse due to various strikes. Through its pages, the readers are treated to witty observations about the social mores of the time, reflections on love and marriage, and the absurdities of political and public life, all illustrating the rich tapestry of late Victorian humor and critique.
