Punch magazine, also known as The London Charivari, founded in 1841 in London, was a British weekly periodical known for its satirical humor, witty cartoons, and commentary on politics and society. By the late 19th century, Punch had become a powerful voice in British culture, influencing both public opinion and the development of modern satire.

This is a compilation of issues in January 1898 - December 1898.

During this time, Punch continued its signature blend of satire, political commentary, and illustrated cartoons, reflecting the concerns of late Victorian Britain. Some themes and topics commonly addressed in this volume likely included:

• British imperialism and colonial affairs: Especially events in Africa and Asia, as the British Empire was at its height.
• The Fashoda Crisis (1898): Although it peaked later in the year, tensions between Britain and France in Sudan were brewing and may have been satirized in early commentary.
• Domestic politics: Commentary on Prime Minister Lord Salisbury and the Conservative government.
• Social issues: Commentary on class distinctions, the women’s movement, and moral standards of the time.
• Technological progress and urban life: Reflections on the impact of industrialization and the modern city.

Published 1898 London, England.
