Review:

Very little would appear to have passed [Bartholomew’s] eye unnoticed.... Squeezing the last drop of technical quality from his large-format camera [Bartholomew] brings us a mixture of familiar and rarely seen views. (British Journal of Photography)

The images of Old London are so pure that one would almost expect to see people in Victorian Dress. (The Bloomsbury Review)
