The Daily Graphic in the United Kingdom was first launched in 1870 by the Daily Graphic Company, founded by William Ingram. It was originally conceived as an illustrated newspaper, designed to provide detailed visual and written accounts of current events, a novel concept at the time. It gained rapid popularity for its high-quality illustrations, which provided readers with a unique way to engage with news, particularly on events like royal affairs, major public figures, and global developments.

The Daily Graphic was one of the most influential publications in Britain, known for its pioneering use of photography and illustrations in its coverage. The paper offered a mix of social, political, and entertainment stories, quickly becoming an essential daily read for a wide audience including in North America and the wider Empire.

It had always competed with the Illustrated London News but, over time, the paper faced increasing competition from other publications, including the rise of more modern and visually focused competitors. The Daily Graphic eventually ceased publication in 1932 due to financial challenges and shifts in the media landscape, including the rise of tabloid journalism and other more dominant newspapers.
