John Carter was a Master Designer of Printing and Weaving in Crayford, Kent,England before migrating in 1861 to Victoria Australia. He moved to Dunedin, New Zealand for 7 years before returning to Victoria, Australia.He was a Watercolourist of Still Life, Teacher of Drawing and Designr of Wallpaper until his death in 1909. His Grandson was the noted Australian Portrait Painter and Stained Glass Artist Norman St Clair Carter.
The information that he arrived in New Zealand in 1840 was incorrect,nor did he settles in the Clarence River district of NSW as was written. I am a Family Historian and his great great grand daughter -
