"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 93, September 24, 1887" by Various is a satirical magazine founded in the Victorian era, known for its humorous commentary on contemporary social and political issues. This volume, like others in the series, includes a mix of illustrated articles, poems, and sketches that reflect the absurdities and challenges of the time, capturing the zeitgeist of late 19th-century Britain. The content focuses on various topics, from politics to everyday life, often with a humorous twist. The book consists of a compilation of witty essays, commentary, and caricatures that lampoon various figures and events of the period. It features discussions on various social issues, hospitality critiques in resorts like Royat, theatrical performances at London theatres, and light-hearted reflections on political figures and public life. Through humor and illustration, the authors poke fun at societal norms and provide commentary on the ongoing political debates of their day, offering readers a glimpse into the lively and often ludicrous atmosphere of Victorian England.
