English & Afrikaans text. The first issue of LANTERN described itself as a \"Journal For Adult Education\" while by the last it was described as a \"Cultural Journal\". The content was of South African historical and cultural interest, and except in the later years concentrated on the contribution and interests of the European to the country. The issue of this publication was consistent with the Nationalist government\\\'s desire to instill pride into and knit together the European community, particulary the Afrikaans people. With the release of Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990 this became gradually more inclusive. The new government policies precluded its publishing a periodical 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perceived connections to the past, and expenditure on what was perceived as an unnecessary and non-African project was withdrawn for release to other areas.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 was terminated in 1995 one year after the first democratic elections.
A perusal of the issues, and of the index particularly, reveal that there was hardly (if) any historical event, personage, or place, that had not been covered from a historical and cultural perspective. Over the years there were many special editions covering single areas of subject matter. The index was in three parts, the latter part obviously completed hurridly in roneo form to include the last issue. This collection provides a unique time-capsule of culture and history from a white South African perspective throughout the apartheid era. The articles are a mix of English and Afrikaans. Starting as a fairly simple magazine format with black and white photographs this evolved to a prestigious glossy photo-journalist type format heavily illustrated with colour photographs in later years. Individual issues of this title are generally ephemeral and thus hard if not impossible to locate these days.
A complete collection from No.1.1 to 44.3 inclusive as issued, except 3.3, with index volume, bound into 45 volumes, green vynide boards. We count 179 issues, but sold \'as is\' e&oe
