| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 98, March 15, 1890" by Various is a humorous illustrated magazine published in the late 19th century, particularly renowned for its satirical content that critiques politics, society, and culture of the time. This volume includes a range of comedic sketches, poems, and illustrations that reflect the social issues and the absurdities of Victorian life. The content of this particular issue encompasses multiple sketches, including a musical drama titled "Jack Parker; Or, The Bull who knew his Business," featuring characters like Jack Parker, Miss Lydia Banks, and Farmer Banks. The drama humorously depicts the antics of a mischievous boy, Jack, and his interactions with a bull and a well-mannered farmer's daughter, Lydia, set against a farmyard backdrop. Throughout the sketches, various comedic situations arise from Jack's playful mischief, with moral undertones conveyed through the characters’ dialogues and actions, showcasing Punch's blend of entertainment and social commentary. In addition to this main piece, the volume features poems and critical essays that enhance its overall satire and wit, characteristic of Punch's legacy as a leading publication of its time.
