Overview

"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 108, March 9th 1895" by Various is a periodical satirical magazine published during the late 19th century. This volume features humorous illustrations, poetic verses, and articles that comment on sports, society, and various contemporary issues of the time. It serves as a reflection of the social and political climate of the late Victorian era, blending wit with critique to entertain and provoke thought among its readers. The contents of this volume include several whimsical narratives such as "The Pink Hippopotamus," where the author employs fantastical elements, and playful poetry that addresses topics ranging from sportsmanship to the peculiarities of Irish astronomy. Other sketches portray lighthearted conversations among farmers about their crops and humorous reflections on the nature of interviewing celebrities. The humor is often layered, employing wordplay and puns to engage readers while simultaneously satirizing societal norms and behaviors of the time, making it a rich tapestry of late Victorian commentary and frivolity.
