NotesAlexander Scott Carter was born in Harrow, Middlesex, England in 1881, and died in 1968. Having previously studied art, Carter worked as an architect after graduating from the Polytechnic in London. He moved to Toronto in 1912 and he became a member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. According to the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada, he was "one of Canada's pre-eminent heraldic artists, " and he also "specialized in architectural decoration." He designed many heraldic bookplates for owners such as Vincent Massey, Hamnet A. Dixon and Ian Waldie.
