Item description from seller

[22 pages of advertisements--some with color], pages 593-736, [and 14 pages of advertisements with some color]. Illustrations (many in color). Maps. Some folding pages. Cover has wear and soiling. National Geographic is the official magazine of the National Geographic Society. It has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888, nine months after the Society itself was founded. It primarily contains articles about geography, history, and world culture. The magazine is known for its extensive use of dramatic photographs. The magazine is published monthly, and additional map supplements are also included with subscriptions. On occasion, special editions of the magazine are issued. The first issue of National Geographic Magazine was published on September 22, 1888, nine months after the Society was founded. Starting with its January 1905 publication of several full-page pictures of Tibet in 1900-1901, the magazine changed from being a text-oriented publication closer to a scientific journal to featuring extensive pictorial content, and became well known for this style. John Hyde was the first editor.This issue includes: Queensland: Young Titan of Australia's Tropic North by Kenneth MacLeish and Winfield Parks; Today Along the Natchez Trace, Pathway Through History by Bern Keating and Charles Harbutt; The World of Elizabeth I by Louis B. Wright and Ted Spiegel; Little Tibet in Switzerland by Laura Pilarski and Fred Mayer; and Our Friend from the Sea by Robert Horstman, Nina Horstman, and Robert F. Sisson.Kenneth MacLeish was an editor and writer with the National Geographic and was the son of Archibald MacLeish.Winfield I. Parks Jr. (born April 24, 1932 -August 11, 1977) was an American photographer. He was a staff photographer with the National Geographic Society from 1961 until 1977. He traveled extensively contributing countless stories to the NGS Magazine and NGS books, both photography and writing. His prizewinning, mural sized, black and white photograph of the American team in the America's Cup is still displayed in the lobby of the Providence Journal where he started his career. Bern Keating had his own photography studio and did local projects until Quentin Reynolds helped him to become a world photographer. Reynolds used Keating's services and showed his work to editors in New York. Major publications were soon requesting Keating's photographs. Keating has won many awards including a Pulitzer. Also, Keating has contributed regularly to many publications, including: Smithsonian, Look, Life, , National Geographic, Saturday Evening Post, and Reader's Digest.Charles Henry Harbutt (July 29, 1935 - June 30, 2015) was an American photographer, a former president of Magnum, and full-time Associate Professor of Photography at Parsons School of Design in New York. Harbutt's work is deeply rooted in the modern photojournalist tradition. For the first twenty years of his career he contributed to major magazines in the United States, Europe and Japan.Louis Booker Wright was an American author, educator and librarian. Wright was the director of the Folger Shakespeare Library, the author of numerous books about the American colonial period, and he was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship.Among the organizations Wright served after his retirement in 1968 was the National Geographic Society.
