| Summary | "Punch or the London Charivari, Vol. 147, November 11, 1914" by Various is an illustrated weekly magazine known for its humor and satire, published during the early 20th century, specifically during the First World War era. The publication offers a humorous take on contemporary events, particularly focusing on the societal impacts of the war, politics, and the absurdities of daily life at the time. The book's primary topic revolves around the commentary and satire of the war, providing readers with a blend of humor amidst a backdrop of serious global conflict. In this volume of "Punch," the contributors present a collection of caricatures, witty articles, and parodic poems reflecting the war's influence on British society. Topics vary from humorous takes on military misadventures and societal responses to the war, to critiques of political figures and public sentiment towards the conflict. For instance, illustrations depict soldiers and civilians engaging with the absurdities of war while articles humorously address issues like recruitment drives, the criticisms leveled at public figures, and the strange realities facing soldiers and their families.
