JULES CLAINE WAS a French explorer and diplomat who spent a year travelling across Malaysia in 1889 and 1890, photographing and commenting upon all that he saw and encountered here. This he published in Un An En Malaisie (One Year in Malaysia), and gave a paper for the 9th International Congress of Orientalists in London in 1891. He appeared on the cover of the Journal des Voyages, where his travels were featured as the cover story.
