Canadian Illustrated News
The Canadian Illustrated News was a weekly Canadian illustrated magazine published in Montreal from 1869 to 1883. It was published by George Desbarats.
The magazine was notable for being the first in the world to consistently produce photographs at a successful rate.[1] This was possible with the financial backing of George Desbarats, as well as the invention of half-tone photoengraving by William Leggo.
