Rachel Robinson Elmer
The most distinguished artist in the family, Rachel also studied in New York City, at the Art Students' League. Although heavily influenced by her father, she surpassed him in both talent and training. She married and settled in New York, where she had a successful career as a book illustrator. Her best-known work, however, consisted of two sets of fine art post cards done in 1914 and 1916. She issued the second set—linoleum block prints of views of New York—entirely on her own. Their art moderne feel put them well ahead of their time, and they caused quite a stir. Rachel contracted the Spanish flu while working as a Red Cross volunteer at the end of World War I and died prematurely in 1919.
