Dear 23maggie,
"William Henry Bartlett, (born in London, 26 March 1809; died at sea
off Malta, 13 Sept 1854) was an English draughtsman, active also in
the Near East, Continental Europe and North America. He was a prolific
artist and an intrepid traveler. His work became widely known through
numerous engravings after his drawings published in his own and other
writers' topographical books. His primary concern was to extract the
picturesque aspects of a place and by means of established pictorial
conventions to render 'lively impressions of actual sights', as he
wrote in the preface to The Nile Boat (London, 1849)"

Museum of Art, Yale University Art Gallery, Georgia Museum of Art, New
York Historical Society, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The

Dear 23maggie23,
The William Henry Bartlett referenced in my answer is the only painter
by that name, in addition the years of his birth and death are the
same.
Please note that "William Henry Bartlett made four visits to the
United States between 1836 and 1852. From the earlier of these visits
resulted in a series of views which were published c. 1840 as American
Scenery, with a text by Nathaniel P. Willis. American Scenery
contains a number of views of the mountains, lakes, and waterfalls of
the White Mountains."

Thus while he was in America, he created a number of American
paintings, he was not an however an American painter.
In regard to the prices of his paintings, as I mentioned in my answer,
they are not available for sale to the public. I have supplied you
with a number of links where you can purchase prints of his work, I
have also given you prices. I cannot post pictures of his work here,
but please look at the links I have given you. This will also allow
you to see photographs of all his known work. I will repeat them here:
1) Pictures of his engravings
http://www.rhone.ch/rogerm/bartlett.html
2) William Henry Bartlett: Steel Engravings of the Holy Land, Syria,
Lebanon, and Asia Minor 1835-1840

3) William Henry Bartlett Gallery: Hand-colored steel engravings
http://www.rafa.com/bartlett.htm
4) Colored images of his art

If you would like me to supply you with more sources where you can
purchase prints, please let me know. But again, his paintings are not
available for sale to the public and so I cannot give you the prices
of original paintings, the originals can only be seen at the museums I
mentioned. Please re-read my answer and if you require further
clarification, please do feel free to ask.
Thank you,
