Sir Ambrose Macdonald Poynter (26 September 1867 – 31 May 1923) was a British calligrapher, artist and architect.[1]
Poynter was born at 24 Gower Street, Bloomsbury, London.[2] He was eldest son of Sir Edward John Poynter (1836–1919),[3] and grandson of architect Ambrose Poynter (1796–1886). His mother was Agnes (1843–1906), one of the famed Macdonald sisters.[4]
Poynter designed the Torre Monumental in Retiro, Buenos Aires,[5] that was opened in 1916 and from his teens produced a number of drawings, some of which are now located in the British Museum.[6]
