A collection of images taken by professional travelling photographers, Simon Peter Bartle (1875-1956) and Herman Arthur Bartle (1877-1958). These images are a small sample of the 1,880 glass plate negatives that comprise the Bartle Brothers fonds housed at the Archives of Ontario.

Simon and Herman were the sons of Dr. Charles Bartle, a physician, and his wife, Charlotte (Shaver), of Dixon, Osnabruck, Stormont County. Simon attended public school in Morrisburg, where he obtained an art teaching certificate. While in Morrisburg, he appears to have also studied photography. Returning to Dixon after completing his formal education, he embarked upon a career as a photographer. He was assisted by his younger brother, Herman.

As travelling photographers, the Bartle Brothers pulled their equipment in a horse drawn caravan throughout Glengarry and Stormont Counties in Ontario during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They took portraits of local residents and of a wide variety of subjects, principally depicting scenes of rural life in the area. They were active until about 1914, when they decided to go into mixed farming. Prior to that, their shared residence housed their photography supplies and equipment as well as serving as a bicycle shop.
