Le Canadian Illustrated News, publié chaque semaine d'octobre 1869 jusqu'à la fin de 1883, a été l'un des journaux les plus innovateurs de l'histoire de l'imprimerie au Québec et au Canada. Au lendemain de la Confédération, c'est le premier périodique canadien distribué à l'échelle nationale. Son éditeur, George-Édouard Desbarats (1838-1893), lui-même fils d'imprimeur, voit son magazine comme une façon de définir l'identité canadienne et de resserrer les liens entre les populations urbaines de l'Est et les nouveaux colons de l'Ouest. Il veut aussi donner une image favorable du Canada à l'étranger.

Une autre raison pousse les lecteurs à acheter le magazine de Desbarats. Fatigué des journaux ternes ne contenant que des discours politiques ou des textes spécialisés, le public veut lire des reportages, des récits d'aventure, des textes d'actualité. Mais surtout, il veut des images, comme on en voit dans les grands magazines européens tels que l'Illustrated London News et L'Illustration de Paris.

Cette époque est marquée par un renouveau industriel, technologique et commercial, l'émergence des moyens de communications comme le chemin de fer et le développement de l'Ouest canadien. Le Canadian Illustrated News est le reflet de tout cela. Il est également présent lors des événements historiques, comme la rébellion de la rivière Rouge, les désastres naturels ou les visites princières. La couverture des événements régionaux ou nationaux domine, mais les nouvelles de la Grande-Bretagne et la guerre franco-prussienne font également les manchettes.

Les textes sont de qualité, mais ce sont avant tout les illustrations qui attirent l'attention du public. Au début, on y voit le monde à travers l'interprétation des dessins reproduits par le procédé de leggotypie inventé par l'associé de Desbarats, William Augustus Leggo (1830-1915). Ce procédé permet une reproduction photomécanique des dessins et des gravures, imprimés en même temps que le texte.

Avec l'essor de la photographie, les lecteurs exigent une image qui reproduit fidèlement la réalité. Encore une fois, Leggo innove en inventant la photographie grenée, qui permet la reproduction des photographies sur les presses typographiques. Le procédé est utilisé pour la première fois au monde dans le numéro du 3 juin 1871 du Canadian Illustrated News.

Le Canadian Illustrated News et son jumeau, L'Opinion publique, reflètent les idées novatrices de leur propriétaire et le talent technologique de William Leggo. Les textes et les illustrations du Canadian Illustrated News sont et seront toujours une des principales sources iconographiques sur le Québec de cette époque.

Bibliothèque et Archives Canada offre sur Internet, dans sa collection numérique Canadian Illustrated News : les nouvelles en images, 1869-1883 , près de 4000 illustrations publiées dans le journal tout au long de son existence.
