{history}
John Dickinson (1782-1869) was a British inventor and paper manufacturer (he pioneered the production of window envelopes). His company acquired the Basildon Bond (est. 1911) brand in 1918 and in the 1960s the Dickinson Robinson Group became one of the biggest stationery companies in the world.
