Extra Information: The Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Newport, Rhode Island, was established in 1823 as one of the earliest educational institutions for individuals who were deaf or hard of hearing. Originally known as the "Rhode Island Asylum for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb," it was founded by philanthropist Henry Barnard and operated under the supervision of the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. The institution provided educational opportunities, vocational training, and support services to deaf individuals, aiming to empower them and integrate them into society. Over time, the institution evolved and expanded its programs to meet the changing needs of the deaf community. Today, it continues to operate as the Rhode Island School for the Deaf, offering a range of educational and support services to students with hearing impairments. The Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Newport played a significant role in advancing the education and inclusion of deaf individuals in society. Artist Biography: William Guy Wall was an American painter of Irish birth. Wall was born in Dublin in 1792 and arrived in New York in 1812. He was already a well trained artist and soon became well known for his sensitive watercolor views of the Hudson River Valley and surroundings. Some of these watercolors were published as engravings by John Hill and his son John William Hill in the Hudson River Portfolio (New York, 1821–1825), one of the first publications to make Americans aware of the beauty of their own country. Wall's landscapes (and a few seascapes) were straightforward representations of America's awe-inspiring vistas—neither romanticized nor idealized. He is classified as either a forerunner or an early member of the Hudson River School. Wall was a founding member of the National Academy of Design (New York) and exhibited frequently at such institutions as the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (Philadelphia) and the Apollo Association (New York). He lived in America from 1812 to 1835 and again from 1856 to 1860. He returned to Ireland in 1860 and died in Dublin in 1864. William Guy Wall's son, William Archibald Wall (1828 – 1878), was also a landscape painter. The Amon Carter Museum (Fort Worth, Texas), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Hudson River Museum (Yonkers, New York), the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New-York Historical Society are among the public collections having paintings by William Guy Wall.
