| Summary | "Mr. Punch's" Book of Arms by Edward Tennyson Reed is a satirical work written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a humorous collection that explores heraldry and social commentary through a whimsical lens. Reed utilizes the iconic Mr. Punch character to critique contemporary figures and societal norms in a format that combines illustrations with witty text. The content of the book revolves around various caricatured coats of arms for notable individuals and public figures of the time, each accompanied by an imaginative and often absurd description. Through the use of parody, Reed crafts an entertaining commentary on politics, culture, and the quirks of the Victorian society, blending humor with a reflection on the nature of identity and status. Characters such as the Earl of Birmingham and Lord Kipling of Mandalay are depicted with arms that represent not just their lineage but also satirical traits of their personalities and public personas, making every entry a light-hearted critique of the elite.
