Abstract
John White travelled in the1580s on Walter Raleigh's voyages to 'Virginia' (now North Carolina) and made the earliest surviving watercolours of the flora, fauna and people of North America. This publication presents papers on John White and his pictures of America by experts in the field which has little published on the artist. The essays bring together scholars from many different fields – history, ethnography, literature, natural history, art history. Using new approaches, they re-examine the work of John White, Thomas Harriot and the Frankfurt engraver, Theodor de Bry, who published their work. In the process, they enable us to look at the Old World visions in a way that will help us to recover a missing perspective – that of the Native Americans.
