A rare & desirable group., also with newspaper & magazine clippings. New Australia was founded in 1893 as a utopian socialist settlement of 238 people, lead by Henry Lane. It propunded an odd mix of communism, monogamy, teetolalism & white racial purity. Dissension lead to Lane & his followers abandoning the settlement & establishing a second called Colonia Cosmé. At its peak Colonia Cosmé had 191 inhabitants. By 1898 only 98 remained. The newspaper folded in 1904 and the socialist commune was abandoned soon after. However, the place names survived and, as evidenced by the later covers, there are still some 2000 descendants of the founders living in Paraguay.
