Dial: The First Number of the Series

by John Gray

The Dial was an art magazine published in London between 1889 and 1897 by Charles Ricketts and Charles Shannon, known for their aestheticism and association with the Pre-Raphaelite movement. This first issue featured contributions from the editors, R. Savage, and the poet John Gray, who is often speculated to have inspired Oscar Wilde's character Dorian Gray. The magazine explored themes of art, literature, and the burgeoning aesthetic movement, reflecting the intellectual and artistic ferment of the late Victorian era. It served as a platform for the exploration of new ideas and forms of artistic expression, showcasing the work of emerging artists and writers, and providing a space for critical dialogue around the evolving artistic landscape.
