Bartlett, WILLIAM HENRY

Bartlett, WILLIAM HENRY, artist, born in London in 1809, was a pupil of Britton, the architect, who afterwards employed him to make drawings for his Cathedral Antiquities and Picturesque Antiquities of English Cities. Subsequently Bartlett visited the Continent, the Holy Land, and America several times, on each occasion enriching his portfolio with innumerable interesting scenes. No fewer than nineteen quarto volumes, containing about 1000 engravings from his sketches, and letterpress from his own pen and those of his fellow-travellers, Dr W. Beattie, N. P. Willis, and Miss Pardoe, were devoted to these countries. Bartlett died on the voyage from Malta to Marseilles, 13th September 1854.
