| Summary | "Mr. Punch in Bohemia" by Various is a collection of humorous illustrations and writings, most likely compiled in the late 19th century. The book serves as a celebration of London's literary and artistic community through the lens of comedy, showcasing the talents of various artists and writers featured in the iconic magazine "Punch." The humor reflects the lighter side of the artistic lifestyle, focusing on various figures such as writers, artists, and musicians typical of the Bohemian scene. At the start of this work, the reader is introduced to the concept of modern Bohemianism, which has transitioned from its scruffy, unconventional roots to a more respectable and recognized cultural movement. It hints at the exploration of both the old and new aspects of Bohemia, led by the character of Mr. Punch, who embodies the spirit of this realm. The opening is filled with witticisms and illustrations that poke fun at the trials of authors, artists, and the peculiarities of the creative life, setting a light-hearted tone that invites readers into a world of humor intertwined with the arts.
