William Henry Bartlett (March 26, 1809 September 13, 1854) was a British artist, best known for his numerous steel engravings. Bartletts primary concern was to render "lively impressions of actual sights", as he wrote in the preface to The Nile Boat (London, 1849).

Engraved titles in each volume (a little foxed), 106 steel-engraved plates (very clean) after Bartlett, fold. lithographic map of Switzerland at back of Vol. II. 2 vols. 4to. Ray, England, 65; "The heyday of engraving on steel was the second quarter of the nineteenth century. . . . The indefatigable Bartlett was the chief producer of volumes of steel-engraved views. For many years he ranged through two continents making or collecting drawings. . . . Collectors not seeking representations of familiar scenes will probably find the grandeur of his Swiss subjects most appealing" (Ray, Illustrator & the Book in England, pp. 40-42)
