| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 93, Nov. 12, 1887" by Various is a collection of humorous articles and illustrations from the Victorian era, specifically reflecting cultural, political, and social commentary of that time. As a publication, it serves as a satirical take on contemporary issues, providing readers with an insight into the humor and sensibilities of the late 19th century. The likely topics covered in this volume include politics, societal norms, and the quirks of public figures, conveyed through wit and caricature. The content of this volume is a rich tapestry of comedic sketches, parody articles, and satirical poetry. It includes a series of missives such as "The Letter-Bag of Toby, M.P.," which provides the reflections of a weary Home Secretary considering resignation. Additionally, it features pieces that tackle various political affairs, including the plight of Mr. Coles—a victim of an injustice in Hayti—and amusing anecdotes about the behavior of public figures at events like the Lord Mayor's Show. Through clever wordplay and pointed critiques, the publication not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on the absurdities of the era's socio-political landscape.
