His drawings for the series Vetusta monumenta published in 1797–1817 “set new standards in recording Gothic detail” ( ODNB ), and his numerous articles published in the Gentleman’s Magazine are crucial contributions to the contemporary Gothic revival movement. The second volume of the Magazine is entirely the work of Carter, who designed over 180 plates and accompanied them with detailed descriptions. His drawings “cover a remarkably wide range of subjects – farm-houses, inns, a hospital, a public library, shop fronts, town houses, villas, cottages, garden buildings, chimney pieces . . . and probably for that reason remained in demand for some forty-five years” (Harris, p. 131). The Builder’s Magazine was popular enough to justify multiple reprints from 1774 until the early 1820s.
