Impact
It is difficult to assess the impact of the Fuller Sisters on American art, if only because influence is hard to prove and the images equally hard to obtain. Here is a magazine cover by John (aka Jack) Rae from the period when they sometimes posed for him.

The climax of Walter’s peace campaign was a unique War-against-War Exhibition. Here you have:
• a late version of his proposal as opposed to his initial description, which is printed in the book
an advertisement for the Exhibition
text of panels from the Exhibition
cleaned up panel images:
What Europe teaches
the Ladder of Progress
Uncle Sam all dressed up
cartoons inspired by Jingo, the mascot of the Exhibition
Walter’s plans to query the militarists’ parade
facsimiles (the last one is an original) of his propaganda leaflets for ‘Real Patriots’:
Keep cool 1
Keep cool 2
The voice with the smile wins
What are we afraid of?
Who starts the cannon-balls rolling?

Between 1905 and 1909 Walter edited the University Review, the first periodical in Britain to speak for the students of all its universities. Here is an index to the contributors, who were for the most part university professors, often national figures, rather than students.

Between 1908 and 1910, Walter edited the Readers’ Review for the National Home-reading Union and the Library Association. The contributors, indexed here, were more varied, ranging from the writer Arnold Bennett, and newspaper editor and literary critic R. A. Scott-James, to people whose reputation was more ephemeral.
