Roland Bonaparte travelled at a period when the map still had blanks on it, and filled some of them.
The record lists Roland Bonaparte as French geographer, astronomer and anthropologist (1858–1924).
Roland Bonaparte was born at Auteuil in 1858. 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 botanist, geographer and speleologist.
The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.
Roland Bonaparte died in 1924, aged 66. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
