[Public Domain Review] Painting the New World

[Public Domain Review]

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".
