I listed a few visual artists below. These artists are suggested for use in the paper that you are writing for HIS 205 and ART 218. I will add artists to this list over the next few weeks. You are not limited to the artists that appear on this list. However, if you decide to reference other artist(s), see me so we can discuss.

Kara Walker
Fred Wilson
Hammatt Billings
E.C. Kellogg
Thomas Eakins

Also, the link to Illustrating Uncle Tom's Cabin provides many visual images including those from individual artists as well as advertising and magazine publications. These images may also be used as sources for the paper.
