Summary "Our People" by Charles Keene is a collection of illustrated sketches, published during the late 19th century. It features a series of humorous and satirical portrayals of various segments of English society, particularly drawing from the "Punch" magazine style. The collection seems to capture the quirks and eccentricities of everyday life, showcasing interactions across different social classes and settings. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to a tapestry of comedic scenarios that highlight the interactions and misunderstandings among a diverse cast of characters, from city dwellers to country folk. Various illustrations and dialogues bring to life the humor found in common situations, such as miscommunications and societal norms, providing an entertaining and insightful glimpse into the social fabric of the time. Through its witty observations and playful dialogues, the opening effectively sets the tone for the entire work, inviting readers to reflect on the amusing absurdities of life.
