H B Carter and Sons

This fully illustrated book traces the careers of Henry Barlow Carter (1804 - 1868) and his sons Henry Vandyke Carter (1831 - 1897) and Joseph Newington Carter (1835 - 1871). The hope of all the contributors to this book is that it will provide fresh light and original material from which readers can make their own assessments of the work and influence of these notable artists.
