Currie of Mapledurham, Oxfordshire (from The Forsyte Saga). John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga, is a multi-novel & short story series following the tumultuous lives of a wealthy English family as they navigate relationships and changing times in the late-19th and early 20th centuries. A Modern Comedy is the sequel to the series, consisting of three aditional novels and two interludes. The artist Miss C.B. Currie [Caroline Billin Curry] (1849-1940) was one of the most beloved book painters of the 20th century, who spent the majority of her career working for Henry Sotheran Booksellers, in London. "She became famous for her miniature paintings applied to two art forms. First on ivory, mounted on Rivière bindings and named by her employer as "Cosway" bindings. Later she expanded her work into the art of painting on the fanned edge of a book -- called a fore-edge painting. Most of these paintings were signed and numbered by the artist. Whereas fore-edge painting history is replete with unknown artists, Currie is a notable exception. In the book world, the name Miss C.B. Currie is widely recognized, yet her personal life and real name remained guarded and unknown until now. It turns out her name was, in fact, partly a pseudonym. Though her work is highly prized, there is no known published biography. Her correct full name was recently discovered to be Caroline Billin Curry. During her entire artistic career Curry used the slightly altered version of her name "Currie". Her true full name is not to be found in any published record of her work from Sotheran's" (Weber).
