OF THE 1236 footballers - from Jimmy Aitken to Alex Cincotta - to have represented the club at senior VFL/AFL level since the League’s foundation season of 1897, all but 114 are represented by at least one photograph in the club’s ever-expanding archive.

That number has now been whittled down to 113, with the recent discovery of a photo of Herman Colin Bartlett, some 112 years after he last laced a boot and almost 60 years after his passing.

Former Carlton footballer Herman Bartlett, Bunyip Football Club 1915 – three years after he represented the Blues at senior level.

The photograph was sourced by Fitzroy Football Club researcher Brenden Campbell, whose interest in Bartlett was based on the player’s one solitary senior appearance for the Maroons in 1910.

Mindful that Bartlett played two senior games for Carlton in 1912 - the Round 5 match with Melbourne (where the latter was named in a back pocket alongside his playing coach Norman ‘Hackenschmidt’ Clark), and the Round nine contest with the long-gone University (where he was named on a wing alongside the centreman Rod McGregor) – Campbell forwarded the image on.

Campbell sourced the Bartlett image from a photograph of the Bunyip team of 1915 in which he featured – the Bulldogs having also earned the Central Gippsland Football League Premiership in that particular year. Campbell also managed to turn up an action photograph of Williamstown’s Vic Truman – a one game senior player for Carlton in 1920 and a ten-gamer for Fitzroy in 1926.

Below is the list of the remaining 112 Carlton players (and the years in which they played) who are yet to be represented in photographic form either in the Carlton Football Club archive or The Blueseum historical website.
