Esther Pissarro (neé Bensusan) was a British wood-engraver, designer, and printer. She studied at the Crystal Palace School of Art and married fellow artist Lucien Pissarro (son of Camille Pissarro) with whom she had one daughter, the artist Orovida Camille Pissarro. In 1894, inspired by William Morris's Kelmscott Press, Esther and Lucien Pissarro established the Eragny Press, producing books illustrated with color wood-engravings. Esther assisted with creating the wood engravings from Lucien's designs. Work by Esther and Lucien Pissarro are in the Tate Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts.
