EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Christopher Leng, a prominent figure in Sheffield's journalistic history. Born in 1824 and passing away in 1902, Leng made his mark as the editor and part proprietor of the esteemed Sheffield Daily Telegraph. Hailing from Dundee, he arrived in Sheffield in 1864 to take up this influential position. Leng was widely recognized for his independent perspectives on various matters and his unwavering combativeness when it came to defending them. Legend has it that he fearlessly dipped his pen in vitriol, symbolizing both his sharp wit and unyielding determination. The photograph is sourced from The Sheffield Portrait Gallery, a renowned publication encompassing literature, science, and art. Published by Martin Hurst at 23 Church Street in Sheffield, this invaluable journal provides an insight into the city's cultural landscape during its time of circulation. It is important to note that this caption solely focuses on William Christopher Leng himself rather than any associated companies or commercial usage rights. This image serves as a testament to Leng's significant contributions to journalism within the vibrant city of Sheffield.
