A very nice and becoming rarer copy of the Daily Despatch Song Folio

Sir Edward Hulton, 1st Baronet (3 March 1869 – 23 May 1925) was a British newspaper proprietor and thoroughbred racehorse owner. In 1921, he was awarded a baronetcy, of Downside in the parish of Leatherhead in Surrey, for public services during World War I, which became extinct on his death in 1925.

Hulton’s father founded the Sporting Chronicle in 1871, the Athletic News in 1875 and the Sunday Chronicle in 1885. Hulton subsequently founded the Manchester Evening Chronicle in 1897 (renamed the Evening Chronicle in 1914), the Daily Dispatch in 1900 and the Daily Sketch, a tabloid, in 1909.
