Emery Walker (1851-1922)

Walker came from a deprived childhood and he was determined to advance himself. He became a pioneer of the Arts and Crafts movement. It was his talk at the newly-formed Arts and Crafts Society that prompted William Morris to found the Kelmscott Press with Walker in 1891.

Later, he joined forces with the bookbinder T. J. Cobden-Sanderson to found the Doves Press.

"The most successful of the founts used by the private presses are not exact copies 'stolen' from antiquity, but modifications adapted to modern usage."
