Very subdued and intimate lithograph of a mother shielding her daughter while taking a bath.
David Franklin Leavitt was born on August 28, 1897 in St. Louis, Missouri to Franklin and Margaret Nash Leavitt. He died in a US Navy aircraft incident in 1945 when he parachuted over the Chesapeake Bay and was found recovered in his parachute several days later. At the time he was a lieutenant commander in the US Navy. During World War II, he developed the dye used to find downed pilots in the water, and several other air and sea rescue tools. He also designed the aircraft insignia (star and bar) that are still used on all military aircraft. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
