About the Item

Preliminary cover illustration for Collier's magazine, presumably unpublished This whimsical cartoonish image of a young woman dashing across a vibrant green landscape likely served as a cover proposal for Collier's magazine. With an overflowing suitcase, hatbox, and tennis racket, the plucky redhead, sporting a daisy-print dress, appears ready for any adventure. The satin ribbons of her comically wide black and white hat trail behind her, accentuating her impossibly wide gait as she bounds across the hills in heels.
