Greetings, I am John White, a colonial governor, explorer, artist, and cartographer hailing from England. My ventures included a pivotal role in the attempts to establish colonies on Roanoke Island in the late 16th century, where I served as both a mapmaker and governor. My artistic endeavors have left a legacy of watercolor sketches depicting the landscape and indigenous peoples of the Eastern seaboard, offering valuable insights into a world now long past.
