Label TextIn one of his most thorough alterations to a magazine cover, Sloan transformed the elegant young woman and her greyhound (illustrated by Edward Penfield) into a rotund, bespectacled matron with a hungry, mangy dog. And, as if advertising his parody, he transformed the title "Collier's" into "Jollier's."
