| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 93, December 3, 1887" by Various is a satirical magazine published during the late 19th century. It features a collection of humorous articles, illustrations, and commentary on contemporary social and political issues of the time, often focusing on the absurdities of British life and politics. This volume captures the essence of the Victorian era's wit and sharp critique of societal norms. The content of this particular volume includes a variety of sketches and commentaries that shed light on political escapades, social misadventures, and the peculiarities of public figures of the time. Notable excerpts include narratives of members of parliament engaging in dramatic speeches, often humorously from absurd heights, such as chimneys and balloons, reflecting the theatrical nature of political discourse. The pages are filled with poems, letters, and humorous anecdotes about everyday life, showcasing the distinctive editorial voice of "Punch," which relied on parody and satire to provoke thought while entertaining readers with its clever wordplay and social insights.
