The following biographical sketch is from the Auckland City Libraries' searchable index of photographers: George Herbert White was born in Laceby, Lincolnshire, England on 6 August 1867, the son of local emigration agent John Hobson White and Emma Jane Wales. By 1891 he was working as a photographer and gilder (as well as being a music teacher and Wesleyan local preacher) in Grimsby. His brother Sydney, a landscape and portrait painter, may have worked with him, and his sister Mary, almost certainly did. He came to New Zealand in 1893, and took over an established studio in New Plymouth, where he advertised himself as "Late senior partner of the firm of White Bros, Grimsby, England, successor to Mr C B Shaw". By 1906 he had given up professional photography to concentrate on teaching music. A series of White photographs of the Taranaki area appearing in AWN 28 April 1899 is probably attributable to him.

Note by RGMoffat: I have a reprint of a professional 5x7 photograph from Aunt Janet Hume that I reference as Janet 024. It is labeled "Jubilee Celebration 1897 Procession in Devon St" and includes S B White's store on the right hand side of the street. Based upon the above information, it may have been taken by G H White. This photograph was taken in New Plymouth where he was located during this time.

Using Google, I found a web page^S12 that displays the same picture, including the missing fragment in the upper left hand corner. It describes the photograph as follows: A large crowd are gathered along Devon Street to celebrate the 1897 Queen Victoria Jubilee.There is a procession of uniformed men on the street outside S. B. Whites. In the procession a man sits on top of a metal ladder holding two sticks (part of the fire brigade). Behind this is a float with flowers and more wagons. People are standing on either side of devon street in the foreground and a crowd is gathered on the balcony of the hotel on the left. There are people standing and sitting on the roof of the the S.B White building.
