Emery Walker

Sir Emery Walker (April 2, 1851–July 22, 1933) was an English engraver and printer.

Born in London, Walker took an active role in many organisations that were at the heart of the Arts and Crafts movement, including the Art Workers Guild, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society.

In the late 1870s Walker frequented William Morris, with whom he shared both Socialist beliefs and a keen interest in printing. Walker's collection of 16th-century typefaces inspired Morris to create the Kelmscott Press.After Morris' death, Walker set up his own printing enterprise, the Doves Press, with bookbinder T. J. Cobden Sanderson which in turn inspired the private presses of the 20th century.
