"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 98, March 1, 1890" by Various is a satirical magazine publication produced during the late 19th century. It serves as a collection of humorous essays, illustrations, and sketches that reflect social and political commentary of the time. The content likely addresses various contemporary societal issues, poking fun at politics, culture, and notable figures in Victorian England. This volume features a mix of satirical poems and comedic sketches, each aiming to comment on the follies and absurdities of society. Topics include the idle rich in London's theaters, the vanity of social climbers, and critiques of political figures, all wrapped in witty verse and clever illustrations. Characters emerge from different walks of life, such as the Corinthian Lady, who epitomizes a blend of glamour and moral ambiguity, while also addressing broader societal themes such as class conflict, gender dynamics, and the interplay between progress and tradition. Each entry encapsulates the wit and sophistication typical of the Punch style, offering readers not just entertainment but also a sharp reflection of their society.
