| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 98, April 26 1890" by Various is a satirical publication centered around humor and commentary on the social and political issues of its time. This volume, part of a longstanding series, showcases comedic illustrations, sketches, and articles generated during the late 19th century. It reflects the characteristics of British satire of the Victorian era, dealing with themes such as class, politics, and society's quirks, often through wit and parody. The content of this volume includes several comedic plays, poems, and insightful commentaries on contemporary events, particularly a fictional moral musical drama titled "Under the Harrow" that intertwines elements of comedy and melodrama. It tells a humorous story of complicated romantic relationships, misunderstandings, and farcical situations involving characters such as Lord Bleshugh, Miss Verbena, and Mr. Spiker. This witty ensemble explores love's absurdities while addressing societal expectations and norms, reflecting the humor and satirical style typical of "Punch." Additionally, the publication features critiques of current events and theatrical productions, offering readers both entertainment and a reflection on their own society.
