| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 99, August 23, 1890" is a satirical publication by Various authors, part of a famous British series known for its humorous commentary on society, politics, and culture during the late 19th century (Victorian era). This particular volume presents a vibrant mix of original sketches, witty dialogues, and parody, reflecting the sociopolitical climate of the time, particularly focusing on the amusements, troubles, and eccentricities of contemporary life. The content of this edition includes a myriad of comedic works, such as a parody titled "Telmah," which humorously blends elements of classic drama with Shakespearean motifs, where characters engage in melodrama over themes of murder and revenge. Additionally, the volume features amusing articles that critique foreign travel experiences and social interactions, illustrated with a range of humorous characters and playful banter. Overall, the collection depicts a lively snapshot of societal norms and attitudes, making it both entertaining and insightful for readers interested in historical satire and social commentary.
