The Daily Sketch was initially established in Manchester.
The picture daily was very successful and its owner, Edward
Hulton, also opened an office in London.
Over the years the newspaper published several scoop pictures. This
included pictures of the sinking of the Titanic and the death
of Emily Davison.
William Gore, one of its photographers, was in Belgium
on the outbreak of the First World War and took
important pictures during the Battle of Mons.
The Daily Sketch was also the first newspaper to publish pictures
of the Battle of the Falklands.
After the First World War the Daily Sketch
was purchased by Sir William Berry (later
Viscount Camrose) and his company Allied Newspapers.
