Theodore de Bry aquired a set of drawings for his book on America in the late 1580's from John White, a surveyor and artist employed in Ralegh's first colony, and governor of the second colony in Virginia. In 1585 White had accompanied the voyage from England to the Outer Banks of North Carolina under a plan of Sir Walter Raleigh to settle Virginia. White was at Roanoke Island for about thirteen months before returning to England for more supplies. During this period he made a series of over seventy watercolor drawings of indigenous people, plants, and animals. The purpose of his drawings was to give those back home an accurate idea of the inhabitants and environment in the New World. Despite their extraordinary significance, the watercolors were not published until the twentieth century.
