John White (1851 – 1933) Born on the 18th September 1851 in Edinburgh, John White was a painter of landscapes, seascapes, portraits and rustic genre subjects in oil and watercolour. His family emigrated to Australia in 1856 and he was educated in Melbourne. He returned to study at the Royal Scottish Academy schools from 1871 and won the Keith prize for design in 1875. Through the 1870s White’s landscape, portrait and genre subject paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy and other London exhibition venues. He retired in 1931 and lived in Beer, Devon. In 1881 the census has John White living with his wife Emma and two children in Shere, Surrey England so this is the possible location of the image
