Unknown The Deveau Collection circa 1890-1895 Deveau Collection 8 Hollinger Boxes The Deveau Collection is composed of glass negatives taken around Newport, between about 1890 and 1895. The materials photographed include portraits of Newport estates, events, and residents. Also included are images of various Newport streets and landmarks, as well as sailing vessels and Newport Harbor. PSNCA.H.016 Collection information

According to curatorial inquiries, the Deveau Collection is likely comprised from the stock of a now defunct Newport photographer who operated around the turn of the century. The images include depictions of Newport, as well as the rural landscapes of Jamestown and Middletown. The majority of the photographs focus on architectural elements of Newport’s history, showing the exteriors (and some interiors) of great Newport estates—many of which have been demolished. Also featured are local residents, landscapes, and shots of Newport’s harbor and wharves.
