The Queensland Figaro and Punch was a weekly newspaper published from 1885 to 1936 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
History edit
The newspaper was a merger of two previous newspapers, the Queensland Figaro and the Queensland Punch.[1] The Queensland Figaro was originally published on January 6, 1883[2] by John Edgar (Bobby) Byrne.[1] From 1901 until 1936 the newspaper was once again published under its original name, with print stopping only during First World War and several years thereafter.[3]
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program of the National Library of Australia.[4][5]
