WITH A FORE-EDGE PAINTING BY MS. C. B. CURRIE showing "a view of Harper's Ferry W. Virginia." "This is No. 145 of the Books with Fore-edge Paintings by Miss Currie. . . " Painted ca. 1928/9. See: Weber p. 341 #145 was previously unknown. Currie painted a scene of Harper's Ferry on the Life of John Brown See Weber A8 p. 348. SIGNED IN INK AT FOOT OF LIMITATION PAGE BY C. B. CURRIE. / In all about 172 Currie fore-edge painting were painted. Each is numbered in consecutive order with her known active period of painting fore-edges from c.1909/10-1929/33. All Currie fore-edge paintings are rare. / Miss Caroline Billin Curry aka "Miss. C.B. Currie" 1849-1940 was famous for painting both ivory miniatures and on fore-edge paintings exclusively for Sotheran's and strictly on Riviere bindings. Currie is important as being the only known artist to have signed all her work and numbered the pieces. She was highly touted in her lifetime as an artist who was singled-out for her skill and exquisite artistry that she thereby became the first artist so-named by Sotheran prominently in their catalogue series. Indeed she was a close associate and friend of the shop manager Mr. John Harrison Stonehouse and his wife Currie was named in their will. Even despite her prominence Currie's correct full name was a mystery until very recently. See Weber. This particular specimen was 1 previously unknown to myself 2 preserved the most-frequently missing chemise and 3 a clear provenance to this copy is noted the only one so located by myself. / PROVENANCE: Oddly this is the first known Currie fore-edge painting with provenance that is understood to be after the painting of the Harper's Ferry scene. The importance of that is the relationship of the ownership of a book to the date of the painting or otherwise owning a book before a fore-edge painting is applied to the book. In this case the ownership is surely after the work of Currie. Three persons' names are found in the volume: Joseph Sampsell Carr may have lived in Chicago Illinois. Margaret Rich Carr may have been Margaret Lee Smith Rich Carr 1917-1981 buried in Lubbock Lubbock County Texas. R. Joseph Rich may have been associated with Jefferson Medical College Hospital Philadelphia. REFERENCE: Jeff Weber Annotated Dictionary of Fore-edge Painting & Binders 2010.

She was born in England in 1908 but was taken as a child to Chile where her father an engineer worked on the trans-Andean railway. She remained in Chile until she was approximately 15 years old. Her experiences were recounted in an unpublished novel"Childhood in Chile." Miss Haywood was a keen student of science and an amateur naturalist and anthropologist. Many of the books she illustrated for the publisher Hutchinson & Co. London were keenly observed and scrupulously accurate depictions of plants birds and animals. When commissioned to do illustrations for a children's book on dinosaurs her research into the skin colors she subsequently chose for her dinosaur illustrations was cited by the Royal Academy of Sciences. Haywood was also a practitioner of the art of fore-edge painting. She became acquainted with the art form through an uncle who was associated with the Bayntun-Riviere Bindery of Bath. She did several fore-edge and double fore-edge paintings on commission every year from the 1930s to the 1970s for Inman's Books an antiquarian book dealer in New York City.

He was one of the leading English poets of the 17th century with 14 printings of his Works published between 1668 and 1721. Around 1663 Cowley obtained permission to retire into the country; and through his friend Lord St Albans he obtained a property near Chertsey where devoting himself to botany and books he lived in comparative solitude until his death. Alexander Pope 1688-1744 was a poet and satirist of the Augustan period and one of its greatest artistic exponents. Considered the foremost English poet of the early 18th century and a master of the heroic couplet he is best known for satirical and discursive poetry including The Rape of the Lock The Dunciad and An Essay on Criticism and for his translation of Homer. In 1719 he moved to Pope's Villa in Twickenham then a village west of London in Middlesex where he created gardens and an underground grotto. The house and grotto were topics of 18th- and 19th-century poetry and art. London: Printed for F.C. and J. Rivington; W. Nicol and Son..., 1821 unknown

With two superb fore-edge paintings executed ca. 1930 by the "Dover Painter" depicting views of "Edinburgh Castle from Grass Market" and "St. Giles Cripplegate Fore St." The distinctive treatment of the clouds and pointillistic brush strokes for detail are hallmarks of the style of the extremely skillful artist known as the "Dover Painter" the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore-edges in the 1920s and 1930s.

The "Dover Painter" an unknown English artist - probably worked on commission exclusively ca. 1920-1930 for Marks & Co the London booksellers. By 1928 Dawson's Book Shop in Los Angeles headed by Ernest Dawson began a relationship with Marks & Co. "a reciprocal agency agreement" that included sending crates of books to America via the Panama Canal. Several hundred fore-edges came to Dawson's. Sesslers' in Philadelphia bought and sold examples of the "Dover" painter's work as fore-edges by this and other artists turned up in the B. George Ulizio collection at Kent State University. Other fore-edge paintings were imported via J.W. Robinson Company department stores Los Angeles. The Robinson Co. books came with added new Sangorski & Sutcliffe slipcases made especially for them and sometimes included a typed identifying slip mounted on the end-leaves.more fore-edges by the "Dover Painter" can be seen at the Huntington Library. and Stanford University." A similar example is cited by Jeff Weber in his Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Painting. "Paley William. The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy. London: Printed for J. Faulder 1810 two volumes 8vo full contemporary red straight-grain morocco with an ornamental gilt border on sides richly gilt backs gilt edges. In a cloth slip case.

William Paley 1743-1805 was an English clergyman Christian apologist philosopher and utilitarian. He is best known for his natural theology exposition of the teleological argument for the existence of God in his work Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity which made use of the watchmaker analogy. "In 1782 Edmund Law - the Bishop of Carlisle otherwise the mildest of men was most particular that Paley should add a book on political philosophy to the moral philosophy which Paley was reluctant to write. The book was published in 1785 under the title of The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy and was made a part of the examinations at the University of Cambridge the next year. It passed through fifteen editions in the author's lifetime. Paley strenuously supported the abolition of the slave trade and his attack on slavery in the book was instrumental in drawing greater public attention to the practice. In 1789 a speech he gave on the subject in Carlisle was published. Edinburgh: Printed for Adam Black, 1814 unknown
