One
hundred thirty eight years ago an amazing baby boy was born in London. His
father was a skilled artist named Samuel John Carter and his mother was Martha
Joyce Sands Carter. They named their son Howard. During his childhood years,
Howard was just like any other boy his age; he did not show any especial
talent. However, as he was growing as a youth, his artistic talents were
manifesting in his sketch works, where his friends would deeply admire the
sketches he would made for them - a clear evidence that creative pursuits
naturally run in their family.
