An illustration of an Inuit man in a fur parka imposed on a blue-green map with a compass rose at the top, with text saying "An Elizabethan Artist in the Arctic: Before John White led the Lost Colony of Roanoke, he painted the first detailed images of Arctic people that Europeans had ever seen. Plus: Scoresby book research and polar news. Arctic Archives. Katlong.Substack.com"
John White is known as the governor of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, Sir Walter Raleigh’s ill-fated settlement in America.
But before that, White showed Europeans their first paintings of Arctic people.
Who was John White—and how did he end up in the Arctic?

Thank you so much for sharing these! Your posts about your finds in the Scoresby archive are fascinating. I can’t help but wonder if that wallpaper was left over from building his villa in Torquay! 🐋

The Russian style seems a lot less artistic than it used to be and just laser focused on ladies doing quads
