Amalie Dietrich

German naturalist, explorer and collector (1821-1891)

Amalie Dietrich travelled at a period when the map still had blanks on it, and filled some of them.

The record lists Amalie Dietrich as German naturalist, explorer and collector (1821-1891).

Amalie Dietrich was born at Siebenlehn in 1821. Her recorded nationality is Kingdom of Saxony.

Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.

She is recorded as naturalist, zoologist and botanist.

The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.

Amalie Dietrich died in 1891, aged 70. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
