Description
A pictorial bookplate on light sepia tinted paper with faded black ink for Beta Eta of Delta Tau Delta. "Ex-Libris" is used to show who the book owner is. There is the Delta Tau Delta's crest famed by an oval and below the oval is another oval with just the greek letters. Framing the two ovals is a larger oval with pointed tips on the top and bottom of the oval. In the unique shape, in the space between the smaller ovals, are flowers and ribbon banners that say "Ex-libris" and the fraternity name. This unique shape is on top of a rectangle. In the corners of the rectangle that are not covered by the unique shape, consist of calligraphic leaves.
