Background
History
Founded in 1876 by a group of like-minded men led by William Longman of the publishing family, Marcus Bourne Huish (1843–1904), lawyer, editor, writer and collector, who became the first managing director while at the same time editing The Art Journal; and Archibald Stuart-Wortley MP.
