Emery Walker was a key figure in the fin-de-siècle fine printing revival and the late-Victorian little magazine movement. His lecture on typography and ornament at the first Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society inspired Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon to bring out a magazine of art and literature dedicated to design. The first volume of The Dial appeared within a year of Walker's lecture.
