"With her victory came a series of modeling jobs. Christy introduced
her to Harrison Fisher who, like Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, had
his own "girl." [There is a site devoted to Fisher at National Museum
of American Illustration.] She also posed for Penrhyn Stanlaws and
William Haskell Coffin who used her for this cover for The Saturday
Evening Post..."

The link they gave to the cover in question was broken by a
capitalized .JPG

By rooting through their image directory I was able to figure out that
the .jpg's all needed to be lowercase in order to find them.
