About William Leggo

  • William Augustus Leggo (25 January 1830 at the City of Quebec – 21 July 1915 at Lachute, Quebec) was a Canadian inventor, engraver and businessperson.
  • He is noted for co-inventing the half-tone engraver with George-Édouard Desbarats.
  • He had several patents to his name, including leggotyping and granulated photography. Desbarats and Leggo founded the New York Daily Graphic in 1873, the first daily illustrated paper.
  • While it was a pioneering effort, it was not a financial success, and Desbarats eventually returned to Montreal, leaving Leggo in New York.
