| Description | The Adelaide Independent and Cabinet of Amusement was a short-lived but historically significant weekly newspaper published in Adelaide, South Australia, from 5 August to 18 November 1841. Printed by George Dehane on Morphett Street near Trinity Church, it was edited by Nathaniel Hailes, a notable figure in early South Australian journalism. This publication holds the distinction of being Australia's first illustrated newspaper. It featured satirical content and included the nation's earliest newspaper cartoons—pen-and-ink caricatures, many depicting Hailes himself. These illustrations were inserted as loose-leaf supplements and are believed to have been drawn by George Hamilton, who later became South Australia's Commissioner of Police. Despite its innovative approach, the newspaper lasted only 16 issues, likely due to the crowded media landscape and financial challenges of the time. Henry Hussey, who later became a prominent pastor and author, worked as a compositor on the paper during his early career. Digitised editions of the Adelaide Independent and Cabinet of Amusement are available through the National Library of Australia's Trove collection. Digitised as part of the "Digitised newspapers and more" which allows access to historic Australian periodicals. Also available in print and on microfilm. Occasionally, few pages from newspaper issues are missing or unavailable in TROVE’s digital archives. This can happen because the original physical copy was damaged or incomplete or pages were lost during the digitization or scanning process else some pages may have been deliberately excluded due to copyright or poor quality. A second edition or supplement with separate page numbering has been included within the sequence of the newspaper. (ISSN: 2208-9705) |
