Effigies of René Caillié & Lavigerie & Henri Duveyrier
In Honor of the Pioneers of the Sahara Effigies of René Caillié & Lavigerie & Henri Duveyrier
These three figures played important roles in French exploration of Africa and Franco-African relations in the 19th century, although in different fields: Caillié as a pioneering explorer, Lavigerie as a religious and political figure, and Duveyrier as a geographer and ethnographer.
