DEK - Etching Ink - 1900-1902

A design or decoration in a specific pattern, usually simply executed ornaments and flower motifs, either painted or etched with etching ink or chemicals from 1900 - 1902.

Note: While we are not certain what significance the first part of the DEK numbering system has, we believe that the uniqueness of each DEK design is reflected in the second part of numbers that follow the forward slash.  Most of the "Etching Ink" series is proceeded by an "I" but in many instances this part has rubbed off.  Therefore, we have arranged the Etching Ink DEK examples numerically according to the second set of numbers.
