A forger(伪造者)is a person who makes an imitation or copy of money or a document. A forger usually sells his works to people who don’t have much knowledge in the field.
Robert Spring, a 19th century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. At first he succeeded in selling his small but genuine collection of early U. S. autographs(亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale.
In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a Miss Fanny whose financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp - eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.
Robert Spring spent 15 years______.
