Dean’s Rag Book
Bear Special. The British 100 year old Dean’s Rag Book Company made a special version of their boxed Centenary Bear for Teddy Bear’s Picknick. As Dean’s started with printing rag books in 1902, which provided Dean’s with their company name and the famous logo of two dogs pulling at a rag book it is no surprise that their special bear is accompanied by a rag book. The fact however is that it is not a copy that goes with their distinguished Centenary Bear but a real original from the Dean’s archives is astonishing. We are proud to present our collectors a very small limited edition of 9 pieces only of Dean’s Rag Book Bear with an original rag book from 1918 titled ‘Ten Little Nigger Boys’ (see page 115/116 of the book ‘The Dean’s Rag Book Company Limited - The First 100 Years’). The rag book is nr 218 in the Dean’s Rag Book range and was illustrated by H.G.C. Marsh Lambert. The printing was done using engraved copper rollers. It is the only rag book by Dean’s to have music printed in it. The 85 year old rag books are still in top condition. The Dean’s Rag Book Bear made for their Centenary which accompanies this book is a good example of the Dean’s range in his lovely quality soft mohair. He measures 14”, 35 cm, has a numbered tag and certificate and he wears a Centenary medal as well as a blue bow tie. Bear and book are packed in a golden box lined with blue satin.
