Abstract:

Sir John White was one of the first men to explore what would become North Carolina, and served as governor of the ill-fated Lost Colony. He was also a highly observant artist, whose detailed sketches and paintings are among the best records of the North Carolina coast and its native population at the time of European exploration.
