Margaret and William Penn Cresson at home in 1921, the first summer of their marriage. Painted by John C. Johansen in their cottage The Dormouse, a wedding gift from Margaret's father Daniel Chester French who lived nearby in
Chesterwood. Margaret later donated his home to the National Trust.
I used my camera to capture this image rather than my scanner which is too hard on my cherished books. The photo of the above-mentioned painting is from OF HOUSES & TIME by William Seale. Personal Histories of America's National Trust Properties. It's a wonderful room as well as a happy moment in time, isn't it?
