James H. Cafferty (1819-1869) was American portrait and landscape painter and book illustrator. He was prominent in New York City academic circles. In 1841, he was enrolled in the National Academy of Design. Since 1843, he participated in the Academy annual exhibition. Until the 1850s, most of his entries were landscapes, but during the last decade of his life, he focused on still life, many of them with fish and game subjects. From 1857 to 1858, he served on the National Academy Council.

William Walcutt (1819-1882) was an American painter and sculptor, best remembered for the Perry Monument in Cleveland, Ohio.
