The Lantern (also known as the Cape Lantern) was a weekly newspaper published in the Cape Colony between 1877 and c. 1889. Featuring a populist and pro-imperial slant, The Lantern was one of the first South African newspapers to publish political cartoons. For the duration of the paper's existence, it remained dwarfed in popularity by more well-established papers such as the Cape Argus and The Times.
