| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, July 12, 1890" by Various is a periodical publication consisting of humorous articles and illustrations that satirize contemporary society and politics in late 19th-century Britain. This collection captures the essence of the Victorian era with its keen sense of humor and social commentary, reflecting the cultural events and societal norms of that time. The book features a variety of sketches, poems, and dialogues that critique everything from military exhibitions to social customs. The contents of this volume are a montage of witty observations and caricatures, illustrating the absurdities of both the upper and lower classes. Readers are introduced to comedic scenes at a military exhibition, where misunderstandings and humorous exchanges occur among attendees. The magazine features commentary on various aspects of British life, including critiques of the Salvation Army, humorous takes on transportation and public services, and dramatic performances, illuminating the blend of satire, parody, and social criticism that defines "Punch". Through its lively anecdotes and rhymes, the publication engages with topical issues, revealing the humor, frustrations, and quirks of society during that remarkable period.
