Nicolas-Joseph Thiéry de Menonville
1739–1780
An adventurous French botanist and lawyer, he is best remembered for a daring journey into Mexico to study—and secretly carry away—the cochineal insect used to make a brilliant scarlet dye. His strange, high-stakes mission made him a small but memorable figure in the history of science, trade, and empire.
