24. The Illustrated Australian news. (Melbourne : Ebenezer and David Syme, 1876-1889)

These were the two major illustrated papers in Melbourne during the 1870s and 1880s.The Australasian sketcher was published by The Argus and The Illustrated Australian news by The Age. They were modelled on the Illustrated London News, but whereas that journal appeared weekly, the colonial versions were monthlies.

They are essential tools for the study of Australian life of the period. The Monash copies are from the collection of Rodney Davidson.
