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.

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.
