Robert Henry Bartlett was based in Queen Street, Auckland and was operating as Bartlett and Taylor in 1865, and Bartlett and Co in 1866/7. His first bankruptcy was on 30 May 1870. Later that same year he accompanied Prince Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, on a trip to the Pink and White Terraces, displaying images from the trip in his Queen Street studio. He presented Prince Alfred with a set of 36 views of New Zealand, and was rewarded with the title "Photographer to His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh" in January 1871. He exhibited at the 1880 Sydney Exhibition, and in February 1881 he received an award for his NZ views and portraits at the Melbourne exhibition. His second bankruptcy was June 1888. He died at the Rookwood Asylum in Sydney on 2 June 1911.
