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".
To the editor of the New York Times
I want to congratulate you on your beautiful reproductions of photographs by the new rotogravure process in your issue of
