Here\'s some info on the photo, Meserve & his daughter:
Frederick Hill Meserve (1865 – 1962) was a businessman and collector of photographs. He published a large collection of early American photographic portraits. In 1944 he worked with historian Carl Sandburg to publish 100 photographs of Abraham Lincoln. The Library of Congress has his photographic publishings in its collection. His father William Neal Meserve was a veteran of the American Civil War and kept a diary. Dorothy née Meserve Kunhardt was his daughter.
Dorothy Kunhardt (née Dorothy Meserve; September 29, 1901 – December 23, 1979) was an American children\'s-book author, best known for the baby book Pat the Bunny. She was also a historian and writer about the life of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Kunhardt wrote nearly 50 books, including one of the bestselling children\'s books in history, Pat the Bunny, which has sold over six million copies. She initially wrote it for her youngest child Edith Kunhardt Davis. Other works include Twenty Days, an account of Lincoln\'s assassination and the twenty days that followed, which she wrote with her son, Philip B. Kunhardt, Jr.; Tiny Animal Stories; The Telephone Book; Lucky Mrs. Ticklefeather; Brave Mr. Buckingham; Junket is Nice (1933); Wise Old Aard-Vark (1936); and Now Open the Box. A daughter of historian Frederick Hill Meserve, she was born in New York City and graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1923. She married Philip B. Kunhardt, Sr. (son of George E. Kunhardt), a New Yorker and a Harvard Crimson football letterwinner. Their home in Morristown, New Jersey housed a collection of items related to the American Civil War and Abraham Lincoln.
