Autorenporträt
Frances Carpenter (1890-1972) had a love of foreign lands and cultures, which she observed closely during her extensive travels—first with her journalist and author father and later with her diplomat husband. During her lifetime she traveled more than 100,000 miles across a number of continents. She was a fellow for the Royal Geographical Society, Vice President of the International Society of Woman Geographers, and president of the Smith College Alumnae Association. Malthe Hasselriis (1888-1970) was a self-taught miniaturist whose sitters included Pearl Buck, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, and President John F. Kennedy. He was also a talented illustrator, providing watercolors for stories by Pearl Buck, and for editions of The Ugly Duckling. He won the Levantia White Boardman award for best miniature in 1948 and 1956, and his work is included in the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection.
