Biographical_Information: Jean-Pierre Alibert was born in France in 1820. This Frenchman, a pragmatist by nature and a romantic at heart, conquered the raw forces of Siberian nature and captured worldwide fame for discovering Russian graphite in the middle of the 19th century.
"Alibert's graphite", "Alibert's pencils" - these concepts became household names in Europe's engineering, architectural and artistic circles in the second half of the 19th century. These and many other articles collected by Alibert during his life in Siberia and the Russian Far East are currently on display in a museum in Riom, his hometown.
