The Lantern (Cape newspaper)
The Lantern was a weekly newspaper that was published in Cape Town from 1877 until the 1880s. It took a strongly pro-imperialist "jingoist" stance and was one of the earliest newspapers in southern Africa to feature satirical cartoons. The paper began to run into severe financial difficulties in the mid-1880s. Beset with debts, McCombie moved to the Transvaal in 1889 to restart the paper there. Further inability to meet his financial engagements meant that, after starting a series of papers in Johannesburg, McCombie moved back to Cape Town where he was found drowned at Salt River.
