The Standard, London’s sole surviving evening newspaper, first appeared at two o’clock on the afternoon of Monday, 21 May 1827, in the reign of George IV, during a heatwave. It was launched by Charles Baldwin, already owner of the successful thrice-weekly St. James’s Chronicle, with the backing of the Tory Party, in opposition to Catholic emancipation.
