ND Calligraphy

Diamine Inks was founded in London in 1864 as T. Webster and Co. in London, and in Liverpool from 1868. Thomas Webster based production in Liverpool and initially was in partnership with John Dyas. By 1871 they were at 11a South Castle West and Vauxhall Works but the partnership was dissolved in 1874. Thomas Webster continued as T. Webster & Co. In 1880 the business launched its new ink, Diamine. By 1881 the business was based at 11 & 13 Henry Street, Liverpool. Between 1901 and 1911 production moved to new premises in Tariff Street, Liverpool, and the ‘Diamine Works’ here were extended in 1925 where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and is now one of the last surviving writing ink producers in Britain.
