The Illustrated Sydney News was a monthly English language illustrated newspapaper published in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia for the colony.[1]
History
[edit]First published on the 8 October 1853 by Walter George Mason.[2] The Illustrated Sydney News was published from 1853-1872 and again between 1881-1894.[3] In August 1888, it became the first Australian paper to reproduce a photograph using the new half-tone process.[1]. Prior to that, illustrations were wood-engravings, and took one engraver about a week to complete.[4] The first edition received mixed reviews in the Sydney Morning Herald[5]
Publishing in the NSW colony
[edit]Most material published in the first twenty years of the New South Wales colony notified soldiers, convicts and private settlers contained 'government orders' printed on a portable wooden and iron printing press and displayed or announced aloud in public places and in churches.[6]
Digitisation
[edit]The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program (ANDP) project of the National Library of Australia.[7]
