Project Gutenberg 2008-07-09 Public domain in the USA. 255 Various Verschillende Various, Various Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 147, August 5th, 1914 Produced by Neville Allen, Malcolm Farmer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 147, August 5th, 1914" by Various is a collection of satirical articles and illustrations published in the early 20th century, specifically during a time of significant political tension in Europe. As a periodical, it reflects on current events, societal norms, and cultural happenings through humor and parody, making it a snapshot of British humor and sentiment leading up to World War I. The content of this volume is diverse, ranging from humorous critiques of contemporary issues like the Suffragette movement, as seen in articles about women's rights and their roles in society, to light-hearted takes on everyday life and idiosyncrasies of human behavior. Readers can find sketches of absurd situations, poetry reflecting on nature, and witty commentary on public figures and politics, often culminating in a blend of slapstick and sharp social critique. The illustrations and the written word work hand in hand to create a vivid and engaging portrayal of the era, illuminating the anxieties and amusements of British society on the eve of monumental change.
