Britain’s William H. Bartlett (1809 - 1854) was a topographical illustrator who was articled to John Britton. He travelled extensively, visiting Syria, Egypt, Palestine and America. Britain’s William H. Bartlett, a prolific illustrator, travelled the world documenting his travels with beautiful drawings. These were later given to expert artisans, who etched them into plates of steel for printing. In the 1800’s, these were incredibly popular as a way for people to see sights that they would never experience, in far distant lands. Among the most popular were his engravings of "American Scenery." Not only did people around the world marvel at the beauty of these views of our relatively young country, Americans also found these pictures irresistible. William Henry Bartlett made four visits to the United States between 1836 and 1852. Based on the earlier of these visits, he created a series of views that were published around 1840. They were titled "American Scenery," with a text by Nathaniel P. Willis. "American Scenery" contains a number of views of the mountains, lakes, and waterfalls of the White Mountains. Bartlett made sepia wash drawings the exact size to be used in engravings. His engraved views were widely copied by artists, but no signed oil painting by his hand is known. Bartlett died on board a French ship returning from a voyage to the Orient. Engravings based on Bartlett's views were later used in his posthumous History of the United States of North America, continued by B. B. Woodward and published c. 1856.
