Drypoint, ca. 1920, 214 x 132 mm. Fine, atmospheric impression on an irregularly torn sheet of white, laid japan paper with full margins, titled and signed in pencil and numbered from the tiny edition of 12. Carter was an interesting and complex artist who did many things. Initially attracted to the subject matter of the Comedia dell'Arte (not precisely what one would expect from a 20th century Englishman and student of Frank Short), he went on to make mystically-inspired woodcuts and wood engravings and unconventional line-engraved portraits. Along the way, he did a series of equally unconventional, and sometime rather mystical, depictions of London, odd places at times and where the place was familiar, odd angles. His work was printed in small editions, is rare and, for the most part, little known but fascinating.
