PAINTING THE NEW WORLD
<http://publicdomainreview.org/2012/04/24/painting-the-new-world/>
In 1585 the Englishman John White, governor of one of the very
first North American colonies, made a series of exquisite
watercolour sketches of the native Algonkin people alongside
whom the settlers would try to live. Benjamin Breen explores the
significance of the sketches and their link to the mystery of
what became known as the "Lost Colony".
