Framed Print of The late Mr. G. C. Leighton, 1895. Creator: R. Taylor
The late Mr. G. C. Leighton, 1895. A name which was long and honourably linked with this Journal is that of Mr. George C. Leighton, who died on May 8. He prepared the first coloured supplement of The Illustrated London News just forty years ago, when such an idea was quite novel. For the next thirty years his firm, Messrs. Leighton Brothers, printed a succession of these supplements, which had great popularity. The picture entitled "Little Red Riding Hood" sold to the extent of more than one million copies, and may be still seen on the walls of many a home in all parts of the world. After the founder of The Illustrated London News, Mr. Herbert Ingram, entered Parliament as M.P. for Boston - a constituency now represented by his son, Sir William Ingram, Bart. - he appointed Mr. George Leighton as chief manager. This was about the year 1856, and four years later Mr. Leighton's duties were still more responsible. For several years be had much to do with the business department of the paper, of which he was the publisher at one time, and won the esteem of all with whom he was brought in contact. Mr. Leighton retired a few years ago, and had since enjoyed a well-earned rest in his home at Highgate. He was in the sixty-ninth year of his age'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
