George Francis White (1808–1898) was a colonel in the British Army who served in the British Raj.[1] He was also an amateur artist and while stationed in India produced a book of engravings and sketches called, Views in India, Chiefly among the Himalaya Mountains.[2][3]

Many of White's drawings were taken up by professional artists such as J.M.W. Turner, Cotman, Cox, Prout, Copley Fielding, and developed into full-scale works.[2][4]

After serving in India from 1825 to 1846, he returned to England and became the Chief Constable of Durham Constabulary.
