CARTER, James, a line-engraver, was bom in the parish of Shoreditch in 1798, and evincing a taste for art, was articled to the architectural engraver Tyrrel. While yet quite a youth, he gained the silver medal of the Society of Arts. After he had served his time to Tyrrel, he aban- doned the style of engraving he had learned in the studio of his master, and adopted landscape and figures, in which he made great progress, but without any other instruction than that he had already received, so that he might almost be called self-taught. In 1840 he essayed to publish a work on 'Windsor Castle,' but failed in his attempt from want of the necessary support. He engraved some plates after Prout and others for the ' Annuals ' when those ephemeral productions were in vogue, as well as some for the ' Vernon Gallery ' series in the 'Art Journal,' and for other works on Architecture, &c. Amongst the engravings executed by him were E. M. Ward's great picture of 'Benjamin West's first Essay in Art,' ' Wells Cathedral,' 'Santa Paalo,' and the 'Arc de Triomphe in Paris.' One of his later engravings was 'The Temple of Jupiter at jEgina,' for a work by C. R. Cockerell, R.A. He died in 1855.

He was the author of several works on architecture, and executed an immense quantity of drawings and sketches. From 1774 to 1786 he produced the designs published in the ' Builder's Magazine,' and for upwards of twenty years was employed by the Society of Antiquaries as their draughtsman. His connection with the ' Gentleman's Magazine ' lasted from 1798 until nearly the close of his life. He occasionally exhibited at the Royal Academy, and at his death, which occurred in London, in 1817, he left no less than twenty-eight large folio volumes of sketches of architectural antiquities, which were sold by Sotheby in 1818.
CARTER, William, was an English engraver, who was born about the year 1630. He was a pupil of Hollar, whose style he most successfully imitated, and whom he probably aided in his works. His engravings are mostly 'vngnettes and ornamental book-plates. The plates in Ogilby's translation of 'Homer' were engraved by Carter. His plates, which are sometimes marked IF. C., were mostly executed about the year 1660.

There exist by him a plate of the ' Laocoon,' dated 1741, after the antique marble group, and some frontispieces, among which is an emblematical one, from a design of B. Picart, and dated 1723.
