- Notes
- Born in England, Carter trained at the Bournemouth School of Art serving as apprentice to local architect J.S.C. McEwan-Brown from 1899 to 1902. Carter studied architecture and art at the Royal Academy School from 1905 to 1908, immigrating to Toronto in 1912. Known largely for his heraldry work, he became an acclaimed artist in Canada, England and the United States. Over the next 2 decades Carter created works for many historic patrons, including Lady Eaton, the Hon. Vincent Massey, and Sir Joseph Flavelle. He created the armorial seal for the Toronto-Dominion Bank, a seal for the Bank of Nova Scotia, the design for the Arms of the Board of Education of Toronto and the War Memorial at Upper Canada College. Today, his works reside in the private collection of Queen Elizabeth II, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the National Gallery of Canada. Carter became an Associate of the Royal Canadian Academy in 1922 and was promoted to Senior Academician in 1951. He became a member of the Royal Architectural Institution of Canada in 1936. A large collection of Carter’s drawings, notes and sketches from over 80 projects, reside at the Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto.
