| Summary | "Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 147, November 18, 1914" by Various is a satirical publication created during the early 20th century, specifically amidst the backdrop of World War I. This volume of "Punch," a long-running British humorous magazine, encompasses various forms of comedic expression, including caricatures, gags, essays, and topical commentary that reflect the socio-political climate of the time. The content primarily revolves around the impact of the war on British society and the absurdities found within political and military situations. The book offers a collection of humorous articles and illustrations that comment on the First World War, including the public's reaction to the conflict, critiques of military and political leaders, and humorous anecdotes from soldiers and civilians alike. It employs wit and parody to address serious subjects, like soldiers’ experiences, national pride, and the roles of various countries involved in the war. Through its light-hearted yet poignant approach, the magazine captures the spirit of the time, illustrating both the resilience and the absurdity faced by those living through the war, while reminding readers of the importance of humor in dark times.
