| Summary | "Punch, or The London Charivari, Vol. 148, February 17th 1915" by Various is a satirical magazine written during the early 20th century, specifically focusing on the period of World War I. This volume, part of a long-running series, captures the zeitgeist of its time through humor and wit, addressing contemporary social and political issues, including the war itself. The likely topic of the book revolves around the politics of war, public sentiment, and various cultural reflections from Britain during this tumultuous period.
