Sir Emery Walker Born 2nd April 1851 Died 22nd July 1933.

London Emery Walker, Ltd. (c. 1933) Small quarto. (15) ff. A short biography of, and tribute to, the esteemed typographer and cofounder of the Doves Press, printed privately upon his death. In light blue wrappers, this pamphlet provides a brief but loving look at an important figure in modern bookmaking. Includes a frontispiece photo of Walker as well as the detached bookplate of John Mason, the noted paper maker and founder of the Twelve by Eight Press. Mason has also written his name on the cover, along with an inscription: "Sent to me by Miss Walker. Postmark 12 Jan. 1934." Presumably, the sender was Emery Walker's surviving daughter, Dorothy. Some adhesive discoloration where bookplate was attached, else a fine copy.
