Antonio Raimondi is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Antonio Raimondi as Italian-Peruvian naturalist, botanist and explorer (1826-1890).
Antonio Raimondi was born at Milan in 1826. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Italy.
Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.
He is recorded as explorer, naturalist and geographer.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Grand Cross of the Order of the Sun of Peru.
Antonio Raimondi died in 1890, aged 64. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
