The business of Winsor & Newton was begun in 1832 by two childhood friends, William Winsor and the chemist/artist, Henry Charles Newton. At the Great Exhibition of 1851, Winsor & Newton were the only colourmen to be awarded a prize medal for artists’ colours and by the end of the 19th century the company appears to have become the largest firm of artists’ suppliers in the world.
