"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 109, August 3, 1895" by Various is a satirical periodical published during the late 19th century. This work is a collection of humorous articles, cartoons, and poems that reflect the social and political climate of the time in Victorian England. It covers various topics, capturing the essence of humor, commentary, and critique that characterized the era's response to contemporary events and societal norms. The contents of this volume feature a range of humorous pieces, including observations about naval maneuvers, critiques of political candidates, and witty commentary on societal issues like the water supply in London. One notable piece involves a writer humorously recounting their experience aboard a naval ship, where absurdities in military secrecy become apparent. Other segments include satirical takes on election campaigns, social faux pas, and the quirks of daily life, often flavored with absurdity and irony. The overall tone is light-hearted yet pointed, providing readers with a snapshot of the era's humor while engaging with significant themes of public interest and frustration.
