Lucien Gallois travelled at a period when the map still had blanks on it, and filled some of them.
The record lists Lucien Gallois as French geographer (1857-1941).
Lucien Gallois was born at Metz in 1857. His recorded nationality is France.
Nineteenth-century exploration turned inland - Africa, Asia and Australia - and was entangled from the start with empire, missions and the geographical societies that funded it.
He is recorded as geographer, cartographer and university teacher.
The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.
Recognition followed: Cullum Geographical Medal and Officer of the Legion of Honour.
Lucien Gallois died in 1941, aged 84. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
