Vintage Rhode Island Ephemera

Vintage Rhode Island Ephemera – The Ocean State in Print

Celebrate coastal elegance and industrial heritage with Adirondack Retro’s Vintage Rhode Island Ephemera collection. This curated archive of authentic vintage magazine advertisements and antique paper ephemera from the early to mid-1900s captures the rich history, design, and culture of America’s smallest state.

Each original piece reflects the artistry and commerce that defined the Ocean State—vintage print advertisements promoting Providence’s jewelry and silver industries, Newport’s famed mansions and seaside society, and Narragansett’s grand hotels and coastal resorts. Discover advertising from Block Island ferries, Watch Hill cottages, and local marine trade publications that showcase Rhode Island’s golden era of tourism and craftsmanship.

More than decorative relics, these artifacts document American advertising design, tourism, and industrial progress. Each page offers insight into the ingenuity and elegance of early-20th-century New England print culture. Our museum-quality mat and frame service ensures archival preservation and sophisticated display—transforming each original advertisement or print into a timeless artifact of architectural heritage and visual culture.
