Vesper Lincoln George, 1865-1934, was an artist and book illustrator. There is a link below to one of his illustrations.

Vesper had 2 daughters, one of whom, Dorothy, apparently never married. I couldn't find the family in the USA 1920 census (perhaps they were traveling or in Europe at the time) but it's doubtful there were additional children after the (curiously named) Bartasa (which is not a misindexing for Barbara; I checked).

Vesper did have siblings, so it is possible there is a cousin connection to your family.
