Fedor Jagor

Andreas Fedor Jagor (30 November 1816 – 11 February 1900) was a German ethnologist, naturalist and explorer who traveled throughout Asia in the second half of the 19th century collecting for Berlin museums.

[1][2] Fedor Jagor dealt with ethnography inspired by a visit to Paris.

[1] Since 1869, Jagor had been a member of the Berlin Society for Anthropology, Ethnology and Prehistory (Berliner Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte), and on January 9, 1879, he became a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

[1] Jagor maintained an extensive correspondence with Rudolf Virchow and recorded his own travel experiences and observations in several books.

He bequeathed his ethnographic collections, including 700 paper negatives of photographs, to the Ethnological Museum of Berlin.
