The Dial was founded by Laurence Housman and printed by the Vale Press. Five issues of the dial were produced, the final issue was produced in 1897. 

Althought The Dial had a number of contributors, Laurence Housman was the only one that directed communicated with Ellen Terry and her daughter, Edith Craig. However, it is important to note that Charles Ricketts, who was widely featured in all the issues of The Dial, worked on many projects that involved Craig or Terry. Additionally, Ricketts seemed to have a complicated relationship with Terry's son, Edward Gordon Craig, wherein a letter to Terry, Edward accused Ricketts of "stealing his ideas again" (ET-Z4,145).
