Wikipedia William Archibald Wall (1828 – 1888) was an American painter, born in New York in 1828. Died in Paddington, London in 1888. He specialized in waterscapes, landscapes and rural and urban views. Although American by birth, Wall spent many years living and working in London. William Archibald Wall, Beached fishing boat and boats in very rough sea, c. 1865 Wall was the son of Irish-born painter William Guy Wall (1792 – 1864). Wall the elder got married in 1812, the same year he left Ireland for the United States. He and his wife had two daughters; William Archibald was their only son. Wall contributed a landscape to the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1847 and again in 1853. He was in London in 1857 and 1858, and exhibited landscapes in those years in the Royal Academy, and in 1857 and 1859 in the British Institution. In 1861, he exhibited at the National Academy in New York. In 1865, 1870 and 1872 he again contributed to the Royal Academy, and was then living in, or near, London.

In April 1881 he was living on the Isle of Wight with his Sister Maria and Daughter Emily, Emily witnessed his death on 3rd February 1888 at 5, Surrendale Place, Paddington.

Biography John William Casilear was born in New York City on June 25, 1811. Like his fellow Hudson River School landscapists Asher B. Durand and John F. Kensett, he worked as an engraver before turning to painting. In 1826 Casilear was apprenticed to the engraver Peter Maverick (1780-1831), and at first he primarily executed bank notes. Durand encouraged him to attempt other subjects, however, and during the 1830s he madeengravings after some of the most prominent paintings of the day, including Daniel Huntington's The Sybil (New-York Historical Society).
