"Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 93, November 26, 1887" by Various is a satirical publication, characteristic of the Victorian era. It offers a humorous critique of society and politics, reflecting the cultural concerns and comedic styles of the time. Through a collection of sketches, articles, and illustrations, the content addresses various topics through wit and irony, providing insights into the social dynamics of late 19th-century England. In this particular volume, the humor is manifested in several sketches, including the trials of a young lawyer named A. Briefless, Junior, who accidentally causes chaos at an institution for vegetarians while ostensibly charged with overseeing it. A recurring theme is the juxtaposition of legal absurdities and societal issues, including criticism of politicians and commentary on contemporary events, such as the Irish Question. The sketches also incorporate whimsical characters who often find themselves in ridiculous situations, showcasing the blending of satire with commentary on the legal system and public interest.
