The Founder (Herbert Ingram) and Success of The Illustrated London News (ILN)

Mr. Herbert INGRAM

Print of Herbert Ingram, founder, Illustrated London News

On the 14th May, 1842, the era of pictorial journalism began !

Herbert INGRAM was born in 1811, in Boston, in the county of Lincolnshire, England. He left school at 14 to become an apprentice to a local printer. At age of 20, Ingram moved first to London, then to Nottingham, where he started his own business as a newsagent and bookseller, in partnership with his brother in law, Nathaniel COOKE.

The newsagent business failed to make much progress until Ingram purchased the rights to a Laxative - known as Parr's Life Pills. The profits from marketing these pills provided the profits which enabled him to set up and publish The Illustrated London News. He employed leading artists of the day to illustrate social events, news stories, towns and cities, indeed the whole spectrum of Victorian England was to be recorded pictorially in the ILN for many decades to come. Illustrations came from all corners of the globe. Events such as the American Civil War were depicted and profusely illustrated. The ILN is still published today.

So successful was the ILN, its formula was copied in many countries of the world. In America, notably by Harpers and by Frank Leslie in his various publications.
