Extract from the introduction:
Copies of Bartlett’s books are difficult to find and often conserved in private libraries. Picturesque and Romantic are certainly the words which appear most often in Bartlett’s books and are very appropriate to characterize his art. Looking artistically at landscapes, monuments and scenes of everyday life as well as revealing their harmonious arrangement through plays of shade and light, such is Bartlett’s ambition through his drawings.
Like all travellers in the nineteenth century, Bartlett enriches the description of places with numerous historical and geographical comments; but he always has the honesty to quote his sources. The texts chosen to illustrate the engravings reflect Bartlett’s personality; only anecdotes and extracts expressing the artistic sensibility of the author have been selected. Unfortunately, Bartlett did not write any books about the European part of the Ottoman Empire and only views of the Middle East are accompanied by texts. From his various travels, we created an imaginary itinerary which goes from the Netherlands to Syria through Belgium, Germany, Central and Eastern Europe to Constantinople, then to Rhodes, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Antioch and Scanderoon situated nowadays in modern Turkey.
