(John) John Leech's Pictures of Life and Character, Vol. 3 (of 3) From the Collection of "Mr. Punch" E-text prepared by Chris Curnow, Wayne Hammond, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "John Leech's Pictures of Life and Character, Vol. 3 (of 3)" by John Leech is a collection of satirical illustrations and commentary produced in the late 19th century. The work showcases various humorous and whimsical vignettes that capture the social customs, absurdities, and characters of the era. Leech, known for his contributions to the comic magazine "Punch," employs wit and charming graphics to reflect on everyday life and societal norms. The opening portion of the volume presents a series of delightful sketches accompanied by brief dialogues that cleverly highlight the quirks of Victorian society. For instance, a playful conversation between two children regarding ancient British customs illustrates children's innocent misunderstandings, while scenes depict humorous interactions between characters in various social settings, such as a father overwhelmed by his family's correspondence or a lighthearted exchange about crinoline. Each illustration serves not only as entertainment but also as a critical lens through which the reader can observe the intricacies and follies of human behavior during the time.
