Summary "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, December 13, 1890" by Various is a satirical periodical published in the late 19th century, during the Victorian era. This publication serves as a collection of humorous writings and illustrations that engage with contemporary social issues, politics, and culture. The likely topic revolves around commentary and satire on societal norms, behaviors, and events of the time, encapsulating the wit and humor characteristic of Punch magazine. The content includes a variety of sketches, poems, and comedic narratives that reflect the humorously critical lens through which society is examined. For instance, one story, "The Curse of Cognac," humorously depicts the plight of George Ginsling, a troubled student whose excessive drinking leads to disastrous consequences. The humorous misadventures and folly of the characters, such as George's interactions with his gyp, Starling, and his attempts to manage his drinking, are intertwined with clever social critique. Various illustrations and poetry throughout the volume serve to underscore the absurdities of contemporary life, solidifying "Punch" as a significant social commentary of its era.
