"The Two Lakes and the Mountain House on the Catskills, 1838" is a notable work by the British artist William Henry Bartlett (1809–1854), who was renowned for his detailed steel engravings, particularly those capturing landscapes and historical scenes. This piece is part of Bartlett's extensive oeuvre that includes illustrations for travel books and topographical albums, which were highly popular in the 19th century.

The artwork depicts a serene and picturesque view of the Catskill Mountains, located in southeastern New York State, which was a celebrated subject in the art and literature of the time, often associated with the American Romantic movement. The scene is composed of two lakes, possibly reflecting the natural beauty of the Catskill Park's many water bodies, with a grand mountain house perched on the edge of a cliff, offering a majestic overlook of the landscape below.

Bartlett's work is characterized by its attention to detail and its ability to convey the grandeur of the American landscape to both American and European audiences. His engravings were typically based on sketches made during his travels, which were then transferred to steel plates and published in various travel books. "The Two Lakes and the Mountain House on the Catskills, 1838" likely served to promote the American wilderness as a destination for tourism and leisure, aligning with the era's fascination with the sublime and the picturesque.

The piece is a testament to Bartlett's skill in capturing the essence of a locale and reflects the broader cultural and artistic interests of the period. It remains an important historical record of the American landscape prior to industrialization and significant urban development. As with many of Bartlett's works, this engraving not only served as a piece of art but also as a document that contributed to the 19th-century viewers' understanding of the diverse and expansive American scenery.
