Before they had enlarged the manor house, it was in these rooms where La Saura was kept, the small printing press owned by Cosme Vidal (Alcover, 1869-Barcelona, 1918), better known by his pseudonym, Josep Aladern.

The teacher closed this simple business in Alcover to open a new one in the city of Reus, The Regional Bookshop, located on Jesús Street. There he became a leader of a group of lively young people with artistic, intellectual and cultural aspirations, who are known today as the Ca l’Aladern group or the Grup Modernista of Reus.
