Once one has come to appreciate the flair for fine strokes and profound stories of William Henry Bartlett (1809-1854), it is difficult to escape the fascination that his works exude. Bartlett's artistic career, which began in the vibrant metropolis of London, identifies the British artist as a master of steel engravings and topographical illustrations. Not infrequently, vivid images of faraway places and bygone eras emerge when viewing his work, brought to life by the precise strokes of his steel engraving.
Bartlett's life was marked by a deep curiosity and an insatiable drive for new impressions. His travels took him through the picturesque landscapes of Britain and further afield to the unexplored expanses of the Balkans and the Middle East. His desire to share these "vivid impressions of actual sights," as he himself put it in his preface to The Nile Boat, with the world is reflected in his finely detailed steel engravings. The depictions of buildings, cities and landscapes he collected during his four trips to North America were published in the form of his work "American Scenery," which provided a revealing snapshot of transatlantic nature. The works that resulted from his travels to the Middle East, particularly "Walks through the City and Environs of Jerusalem," are also a testament to Bartlett's unique talent for bringing foreign worlds to life through his steel engravings.
Although Bartlett experimented with various art forms throughout his career, including sepia wash drawings, it is his work with the steel engraving that has immortalized his name in the annals of art history. Art prints of his masterfully detailed steel engravings remain coveted collectibles to this day, allowing art lovers around the world to bring a touch of Bartlett's visionary talent into their own homes.
Bartlett's journey ended abruptly when, while returning from a trip to the Middle East aboard the French steamer Egyptus in 1854, he suddenly fell ill and died of a fever. But although the artist is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in his work, brought to life again and again through the high-quality fine art prints we produce with great care and dedication. Thus, William Henry Bartlett remains a shining star in the sky of art history, whose brilliance will never fade through the splendor of his works, passed down from generation to generation.
