    The watercolor drawings of John White, the earliest visual record by an Englishman on the flora, fauna and people of the New World, are presented in an exhibition from the British Museum. White accompanied a number of expeditions sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh to Virginia in the 1580s and was governor of the short-lived colony at Roanoke Island, part of modern North Carolina. Scenes of the Algonquian-speaking people of the region, as well as other parts of the Americas and peoples of the world are among the more than 70 White drawings in the exhibition.
