The Graphic was a British
illustrated newspaper, first published on 4
December 1869.
It continued to be published weekly under this title until 23
April 1932 and
then changed title to "The National Graphic" between 28
April and 14
July 1932, it
then ceased publication. It had subscribers all around the British
Empire and in North
America.
"The Graphic" was founded by William
Luson Thomas, a wood engraver and social reformer. The first editor was Henry
Sutherland Edwards, and Thomas also recruited a number of gifted artists
including Luke
Fildes, Hubert
von Herkomer, Frank
Holl, and John
Millais. "The Graphic" was published on a Saturday and its
original cover price was sixpence. In its first year, it described itself to
advertisers as "a superior illustrated weekly newspaper, containing
twenty-four pages imperial folio,
printed on fine toned paper of beautiful quality, made expressly for the purpose
and admirably adapted for the display of engravings".
When it started out, the newspaper was
printed in a rented house. However it was a rapid success, and by 1882 the
company owned three buildings, twenty printing machines and employed over 1,000
people.
Artists employed on The Graphic and The
Daily Graphic at the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th century
included Alexander
Boyd, Frank
Brangwyn, James
H. Dowd, Harry
Furniss, Phil
May, Leonard
Raven-Hill, Edmund
Sullivan, George
Stampa, Sidney
Sime, Bert
Thomas and F.
H. Townsend.
