Deval was born in Pera, Constantinople, the son of a dragoman (interpreter) Constantin Deval and Elisabeth Pisani. In 1833 he became Doctor of Medicine in Paris, after completing his thesis on typhus in the East. As an ophthalmologist, he accompanied physician Frédéric Jules Sichel all over Europe. Deval wrote many treatises on medical matters (1844, 1851, 1862), after first publishing this philhellenic travel chronicle, which is illustrated with sixteen colour lithographs. .
