Special and rare "rag edition":-
"The rag edition was produced on a very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy many years into the future. Given the subscription cost it is not surprising that libraries rather than individuals were the primarily subscribers". "The Times discontinued the rag edition in 1953".

Wonderful birthday gift with topical news from home and abroad including numerous photographs, stories, fashion and adverts.
