Morton Bartlett, 1909 -- 1992, was a private man whose passion became public after his death. The adopted only son of a Boston Brahmin couple, he left Harvard two years before graduating with the class of 1932.

Various jobs followed, including gas station manager and printer’s broker, while he devoted himself to creating a fantasy family of perfectly sculpted children. Meticulously dressed and posed, Bartlett photographed them in staged scenarios, at once quotidian and dramatic: A girl curled up comfortably reading, dancing at a ballet class or a boy at the beach.

Discovered in their entirety after the distribution of his estate, Morton Bartlett’s work has since received international acclaim. With the collection now completely sold and in major museums - the story seemed as complete as his family…..until now.

Two series of large format original prints were printed in 2010. Each comprising an edition of 10, no longer available as small original vintage prints, these will include Morton Bartlett’s most desirable and iconic images.
