The newspaper was founded in 1915 as the Sunday Herald and was later renamed the Illustrated Sunday Herald.

It was acquired by Allied Newspapers in 1925; in 1927 it changed its name to the Sunday Graphic, becoming the sister paper of the Daily Sketch, which had recently taken over the Daily Graphic[1] (and was renamed the Daily Graphic again from 1946[2] to 1952).[3] In 1931 it was merged with the Sunday News.

The paper was acquired by Associated Newspapers in 1952.

The Sunday Graphic ceased publication on 4 December 1960.[4]
