art or writing. Examples of his art work can be seen in the Victoria
and Albert Museum, London which holds a collection of his political
posters. The University of London Theatre Museum which holds a
number of his posters for the Half Moon Theatre and the International
Institute of Social History in Amsterdam which has more of his
posters and other graphic work. At the time of writing, Emma Holister’s
Art Margins site at: http://www.artmargin.com/otherartists/martinwalkergallery.htm
