"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, November 21, 1891" by Various is a satirical magazine compilation published during the late 19th century (Victorian era). This volume serves as a snapshot of the social and political commentary of the time, reflecting the humor and wit characteristic of the publication. It is a collection of illustrated articles, poems, and cartoons that mock various aspects of society—including political figures, cultural norms, and current events—indicative of the lively journalistic style found in "Punch" during this period. The content of this particular volume features a variety of humorous takes on contemporary issues and events, such as the chaotic aftermath of a storm that an ancient milliner recounts in verse, a playful sarcasm directed towards the legal system, and critiques of social customs like dancing and marriage. It includes whimsical poetry and illustrations, caricaturing figures from public life and poking fun at the absurdities of the societal norms of the time. Each piece combines an entertaining narrative with an underlying commentary, allowing readers to both laugh and reflect on the customs and follies of the age.
