Mercedes Lembcke Herold was an artist who made wood engravings, including an engraving of Little Red and a Christmas card for Dr. Frank and Ursula Trudeau.
In Germany as an art student, she met Dr. Carl Herold, whom she married. She came to Saranac Lake with her husband, who could have been a doctor at Trudeau Sanatorium or possibly a patient. She produced the illustrations for Isabel Smith's memoir of curing, Wish I Might.
The Herolds lived on Trudeau Road, in the house that is now the home of Tom and Marlene Hyde.
In September of 1948, The Guild News reported that Mercedes Herold had resigned from duties at the Guild to concentrate on a house-building project. Her wood engravings often illustrated The Guild News.
The 1940 census shows her living in Manhattan with her husband; the 1950 census has her widowed, and living in North Elba.
