William Henry Bartlett was a renowned artist and illustrator who captured the beauty of various landscapes and historical events through his detailed artwork. In 1860, he depicted the majestic Walkers Pillar in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, showcasing its grandeur against a picturesque backdrop. Another notable piece from Bartlett's collection is "The Genius of Poetry Finding Burns at the Plough" painted in 1840 by John Rogers, which portrays the moment when poetry discovered Robert Burns while he toiled away on a farm. Bartlett's talent extended beyond capturing scenes from Europe; he also ventured into documenting significant moments across continents. One such example is his painting titled "The Great Khan at Damascus" from 1841, where he skillfully portrayed this historic event with W Kelsall as the artist. Additionally, Bartlett showcased his ability to capture cultural diversity with pieces like "Hadgi encamped near Antioch, " depicting Mecca pilgrims resting along the banks of Orontes River in Turkey. Throughout his career, Bartlett traveled extensively and immortalized numerous locations worldwide through his artistry. His work includes stunning portrayals of St Jean D Acre in Israel (1841) by Thomas Barber and a timber slide bridge across Ottawa River in Ontario, Canada (1842) by J Sands. He even documented engineering marvels like the viaduct on Baltimore & Washington Railroad (c1838) painted by Henry Adlard. In addition to these remarkable landscapes and architectural wonders, Bartlett also delved into other subjects that fascinated him. For instance, one captivating creation was "Pictures of Year VIII: The Seal Diver, " an illustration dating back to 1888 that showcases William Henry Bartlett's versatility as an artist. Moreover, Bartlett explored different mediums throughout his career - not only oil paintings but also works like "The Harbour" in St. Ives Cornwall (1885), displaying mastery over the canvas.
