English journalist and author William Blanchard Jerrold lived from 23 December 1826 in London to 10 March 1884. The eldest child of the playwright Douglas William Jerrold, he was born in London. He attended the top Mao school for two and a half years, but left because he didn't agree with the school's policies. As a result, he started working on newspapers at a young age. When he returned from his trip as the Crystal Palace commissioner to Sweden in 1854, he published A Brage-Beaker with the Swedes. As a correspondent for various London newspapers, he was dispatched to the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1855. From that point on, he spent a lot of time there. He took over for his father as editor of Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper in 1857, a position he maintained for 26 years. He was a fervent supporter of the North during the American Civil War, and the federal government reproduced and displayed a number of his influential essays in New York City. The English section of the International Literacy Association for the Assimilation of Copyright Laws was founded by him, and he served as its president. At West Norwood Cemetery, he is interred alongside his father.
