Bartholomew Howlett

In 1801 he engraved and published A Selection of Views in the County of Lincoln, with seventy-five plates from drawings by Thomas Girtin, John Nash, and others, of which a later edition appeared in 1805.

[1] He also executed plates for Wilkinson's Londina Illustrata, Bentham's History of Ely, Frost's Notices of Hull, George Anderson's Plan and Views of the Abbey Royal of St. Denys, the Gentleman's Magazine, and similar works.

When the Royal Hospital of St. Katherine, near the Tower of London, was pulled down in 1826, Howlett made a number of drawings, with a view to a publication, which never appeared.

He made drawings of about a thousand seals of English monastic and religious houses for the notable antiquary John Caley (d. 1834).

Subsequently, he fell into financial difficulty, and died at Newington, Surrey (now in Greater London) on 18 December 1827, aged 60.
