The Graphic
''The Graphic'' was a British weekly illustrated newspaper, first published on 4 December 1869 by William Luson Thomas's company Illustrated Newspapers Limited.
The influence of ''The Graphic'' within the art world was immense, its many admirers included Vincent Van Gogh, and Hubert von Herkomer.〔Mark Bills, ‘Thomas, William Luson (1830–1900)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004〕
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 after 3,266 issues. From 1889 Luson Thomas's company, H. R. Baines and Co. published ''The Daily Graphic''.
==Background==
''The Graphic'' was founded by William Luson Thomas, a successful artist, wood engraver and social reformer. Earlier he, his brother and his brother-in-law had been persuaded to go to New York and assist in launching two newspapers, ''Picture Gallery'' and ''Republic''. Thomas also had an engraving establishment of his own and, aided by a large staff, illustrated and engraved numerous standard works.〔Mr William Luson Thomas, Obituary. ''The Times'', Thursday, October 18, 1900; pg. 7; Issue 36276〕 Exasperated, even angered, by the unsympathetic treatment of artists by the world's most successful illustrated paper, ''The Illustrated London News'', and having a good business sense Luson Thomas resolved to set up an opposition. His illustrated paper, despite being more expensive that its competition, became an immediate success.〔
