About: Print publishers, printers, suppliers of artists' materials. The following is based on the Daler-Rowney website www.daler-rowney.com: Richard and Thomas Rowney began in business in London in 1783 selling perfumes and wig powder, becoming artists' colourmen at the end of the century, and later developing a lithographic printing business. The company remained in central London until 1969, when it moved to Bracknell; at the same time the last member of the family Tom Rowney, sold the business to Morgan Crucible; in 1983 it was re-sold to the Daler-Board Company becoming Daler-Rowney.
