Robert White
(b London, 1645; d London, 1703). English engraver and draughtsman. He was trained by David Loggan as a line-engraver and portrait draughtsman. Although he drew a self-portrait when he was 16 and his first print (before 1666) was a portrait, much of White's early work was topographical. In 1671 he drew and engraved a bird's-eye view of the London Royal Exchange. In his notebooks George Vertue claimed that White also drew 'many buildings' for Loggan, perhaps for his views of Oxford and Cambridge, Oxonia illustrata (1675) and Cantabrigia illustrata (1688), and for John Slezer's Theatrum Scotiae (1693), to which Loggan also contributed.
