William Henry BARTLETT visited North America in 1839/1842. He drew many views of United States Cities and scenery, which were then engraved on Steel Plates. The results were a unique record of the times and appeared in the Book - American Scenery - Published in London in 1840.

He then went to Canada, the equally fascinating results of his work, being published in CANADIAN SCENERY in 1842.
