Smalltalk was influenced by Lisp, and in turn, Smalltalk influenced the subsequent Lisp systems; that's where OOP support appeared in Lisp, first with LOOPS and MIT Flavors, ultimately with CLOS on ANSI Common Lisp.
Common Lisp also is "image-based development", just like Smalltalk. This is a direct ST influence.
