    Rag Books :)


    The Dean's family had founded their book publishing business in 1711 and during the next 200 years or so, prospered greatly. In 1902, one of the Deans family, a certain Captain Henry Samuel Dean, together with a fellow director of the firm had produced a rag book. This was a fairly simple affair - a single colour print (except for the cover which had two colours) on calico.

    It had the benefit that when soiled by a child, it could be washed rather than expensively replaced. It was offered to the Edwardian nannies of the day at a cost of 5 shillings (between £40 and £50 today) and proved an instant success. On the back of this single marketing sample, The Dean's Rag Book Company Ltd. was formed in 1903 with its manufacturing unit in Fleet Street, London.
