Janvier was born Catherine Ann Drinker on May 1, 1841, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Susannah Budd Shober and Sandwith Drinker, a sea captain engaged in the East India trade.
At an early age Catharine was taken to Hong Kong where her father established himself as a merchant. There she was educated, excelling in mathematics and languages, especially French. She studied art at the Maryland Institute and later under Van der Whelen and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia where the family moved in 1865.
On the death and burial of Catharine's father, Captain Drinker, in Macao in 1857, the family sailed from the Orient to Baltimore. In Baltimore Mrs. Drinker opened a girls' school of which Catharine took charge on her mother's death in 1858. At the same time she became the sole support of the family comprising her brother Henry Sturgis Drinker, a sister Elizabeth Kearny Drinker, and her grandmother Shober. In connection with her study and teaching at the Academy she wrote Practical Keramics for Students (1880).
In 1878, Catharine married and traveled widely in Mexico, England, and France, where for long periods resided in Provence, principally at Saint-Remy. She met Félix Gras at Saint-Remy and in 1896 published The Reds of the Midi, Gras's Revolutionary romance, which she translated from the manuscript. The translation was made with great success although Mrs. Janvier refused any portion of the financial returns. Subsequently she published The Terror (1898) and The White Terror (1899), translated from the writings of the same author. In recognition of her services to Provençal literature she was elected with her husband to honorary membership in the Society of the Félibrige with Gras, Mistral, Roumanille, and others. The Janviers had already attracted to themselves William Sharp who met them in New York in 1892 and corresponded with them frequently, especially with Mrs. Janvier, until his death, and visited them several times in Provence.
Mrs. Janvier was the first person on either side of the Atlantic to penetrate Sharp's disguise as Fiona Macleod, and she received a letter (January 5, 1895) admitting the identity. Her promise of secrecy was broken only after Sharp's death when she read a paper on the subject before the Aberdeen Branch of the Franco-Scottish Society, June 8, 1906, the substance of which appeared in the North American Review, April 5, 1907, under the title "Fiona Macleod and Her Creator William Sharp. " Her other writings include a book of pictures and verse entitled London Mews (1904), an essay, "Cocoon-husking in Provence, " Harper's Magazine, November 1911, and, in manuscript, "Captain Dionisius, " the tale of an ancient voyage rich in archeological lore. Mrs. Janvier died at the home of her brother at Merion, Pennsylvania, on July 19, 1922, and was buried with her husband at Moorestown, New Jersey. Her collection of Provençal books and some of her letters she gave to the New York Public Library.
