Summary "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 100, June 20, 1891" by Various is a compilation of satirical sketches, poems, and commentary reflecting the social and political climate of late 19th-century London, during the Victorian era. This publication belongs to the genre of periodical humor and satire, a characteristic form of media that flourished in this era, known for its wit and criticism of contemporary society. The content explores a variety of topics, from the ongoing public strikes and the bustling life along the River Thames to the political follies of the time, offering insights into both the vibrant culture and the pressing social issues faced by the populace. The book captures the essence of life in Victorian London through humor and satire, engaging with themes like labor strikes (notably the omnibus drivers' strike), the daily lives of everyday citizens, and the moral questions surrounding their hardships. It features various witty narratives, including a bus horse's diary detailing the confusion and fun during the strike, reflective poems about leisure activities along the Thames, and social commentary that discusses the disparity between different classes. The collection as a whole serves as a commentary on the changing landscape of societal norms, the relevance of public transport for the working class, and the camaraderie among Londoners facing similar struggles, all embedded in a light-hearted yet poignant critique of their times.
