COLLECTION OF 125 LANTERN MAGAZINES - 1955 TO 1995, including a special edition, USA & RSA IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. Lantern was a bilingual South African magazine which covered a wide range of subjects including arts, culture, technology, science and history, concentrating on the contribution and interests of whites in the RSA. The publication was consistent with the Nationalist government's desire to instil pride into and knit together the white community, particularly the Afrikaans people. With the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990 the publication became gradually more inclusive. The new government's policies precluded publishing material with perceived connections to the past, and expenditure on what was perceived as an unnecessary and non-African project was withdrawn for release to other areas. Publication terminated in 1995.
