notes
Andrew Talcott is shown at the age of twenty-five, not long after he graduated second in his class from West Point. He was known for devising procedures and instruments for surveying. Talcott became a captain in the Army Corps of Engineers and developed many early railroad routes before leaving the Corps in 1836 to work as a civil engineer.

notes
Beyond his name, we know nothing about Charles William McGinnes. According to an inscription on the back of this miniature, it was painted in Richmond in 1833. The engraving also includes the date March 18th 1823, which may commemorate the date of a wedding or other significant occasion.
