The Waldenses or Protestant Valleys of Piedmont, Dauphiny, and the Ban de la Roche
by Wm. Beattie, Illustrated by W.H. Bartlett and W. Brockedon

(1838)

Original Antique Steel Engravings over 185 years old

Sheet size: approximately 9.75 x 13 inches
(scattered foxing on some plates, see enlargements)

Born in Kentish Town, London in 1809, the young Bartlett was apprenticed to John Britton (1771-1857).

He became one of the foremost illustrators of topography of his generation, travelling not just throughout Britain, but to the Americas in 1839-42.

In the mid/late 1840s he travelled extensively in the Balkans and Middle East. He died of fever on board ship returning from his last trip to Israel in 1854.
