In 1904, The Saturday Evening Post began hiring women to illustrate the covers of their magazine.[2] Weber illustrated 60[2] of the magazine's covers starting with New Year’s Number, 1904 on December 31, 1904 and ending with Swinging in the Apple Tree on the August 15, 1925 issue.[6] Although she had been offered the ability to contract for scheduled covers, Weber preferred to complete her works to her satisfaction, rather than being constrained by deadlines.[2] She created illustrations of young children, capturing their enthusiastic and delighted faces while playing. The Saturday Evening Post stated that she was "particularly adept at creating movement and flow that gave the impression of coming and going... [and] that the subject would dance off the page in the next moment."[2] The images of young girls were often depicted like little women, engaged in charming scenes, like flying kites, watering roses, or cuddling cats.[7] Weber was one of several talented illustrators—like J. C. Leyendecker, Neysa McMein, Anita Parkhurst, C. Coles Phillips and Cushman Parker—created illustrations of the weekly magazine, which in the early 20th century was limited to a two-color printing process.[8] Weber also created covers for The Country Gentleman[2] and Vogue magazine.[9] She also illustrated articles and covers for Harper's Bazaar, Collier's, and St. Nicholas Magazines.[10] Weber illustrated advertisements for Rit Dyes, Scranton Lace Company, Wamsutta Mills and H-O Oats.[11] Weber collaborated with Herbert, her husband, on The Musical Tree. Herbert wrote the poems and music and Sara created the illustrations for the children's book.[2] By 1921, she had created a series of illustrations called Kiddie Kars, which at that time were owned by H. C. White Company.[12] Her full-page color illustrations were published in The Kiddie-Kar Book, in which the verses were written by Richard J. Walsh.[13] In 1910, The New York Times published an article "A Latter-Day Industry and Its Rewards: How a Group of Illustrators is Making Fortunes by Drawing Pictures of the 'Modern Woman'" in which Weber was estimated to be tied for the second highest paid woman illustrator with Elizabeth Shippen Green, each estimated to make US$10,000 per year (estimated equivalent to $257,036 in 2016).[14][c] Jessie Willcox Smith was said to be the highest paid women illustrator, making $15,000 in 1910.[14] One magazine editor stated that the women's income was on the same level as a Supreme Court Justice. They had their own distinctive style and portrayed children from a woman's perspective.[14] Along with Ethel Franklin Betts and Jessie Willcox Smith, Weber was one of the best known magazine and book illustrators in the early 20th century.[15] She, Anita Parkhurst, and Jessie Willcox Smith were among a group of woman artists—with Lucile Patterson Marsh and Ruth Eastman—to have had distinctive careers as illustrators
