William Henry Bartlett (1809-1854) was a British artist best known for his numerous drawings rendered into steel engravings. He made four visits to North America between 1836 and 1852, where his primary concern was to render "lively impressions of actual sights."Charles Cousen (1819-1889) was a British engraver who also painted portraits in oils.
