Bartlett ran the only school for sculpture in Boston in that late 1800s. It was located at 616 Washington Street and later moved to 394 Federal Street.[3]Cyrus Dallin studied with Bartlett from 1880-1881. Bartlett allowed Dallin to live in his studio rent free when his funding ran low and wrote positively of his talents. The relationship would sour and in 1885 Bartlett would be critical of Dallin's winning first effort in the competition to sculpt Paul Revere.[3]
Bartlett's best known works include The Wounded Drummer Boy of Shiloh, and the Horace Wells Monument (1875) in Bushnell Park, Hartford, Connecticut. Both bronzes were exhibited in Paris. According to Marquis, Bartlett was the first American sculptor to make a figure in terracotta.[4]
