</div> No map in June 2002 edition for AU versiontag:ngscollectors.ning.com,2021-11-16:1029239:Topic:2715162021-11-16T12:33:43.476ZPece Kocovskihttp://ngscollectors.ning.com/profile/PeceKocovski

<p>Similar to my <a href="http://ngscollectors.ning.com/forum/topics/drastic-differences-between-australian-and-us-version-example-of" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous discussion</a> I noticed differences between my copy of the June 2002 issue and what is shown on the archive. </p>
<p>-Front cover is identical</p>
<p>-Contents page is the same</p>
<p>-Letters are present</p>
<p>-I am noticing a lot more ads in the archive version. </p>
<p>-I noticed there is no "Insight on Brazil" page, which I notice tends to be tied to the HSBC advertisements (see attachment) - this is after the "GEOGRAPHICA" page</p>
<p>-I have the "Chinese Soccer" page but not the "Feats of Clay Page" or the "A New Old View of the Tower", but I do have the "Behind the Scenes" page (in fact those two are side by side).</p>
<p>-I don't have the "Mickey Mouse artist" page but I do have "In Praise of the Female Athlete" page</p>
<p>-The "get the picture" page is next to the "Ask us" page, and the "Fallen Hero" page is completely removed.</p>
<p>-Everything after this point is identical though I notice more ads at the end embedded between the last few pages.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now while I came to investigate this particular issue is that according to sources here and lists elsewhere, this issue is supposed to come with the map:</p>
<p></p>
<p>"Quest for Everest"</p>
<p></p>
<p>Now I thought it was quite curious that my issue and the archive have no mention of this. In fact, what was puzzling was that when I typed in "quest for everest" on the archive search, it led me to the Everest map of 2003-May (Everest 50) - which I do have and is indicated to be present in that issue. The odd thing though is that it is labeled as "2002-June" in the archive search result. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Looking elsewhere on the internet, it appears that the map is real and does exist:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130837920490?hash=item1e768c3aea:g:Ce0AAOxyQ45Q-zS9">https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130837920490?hash=item1e768c3aea:g:Ce0AAOxyQ45Q-zS9</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>It is curious that there appears to be no mention of anything Everest related in the 2002-June issue yet there is a supplement in this issue of that topic? I wonder why this issue came with this particular supplement (to US subscribers at least?).</p>
<p></p> Drastic differences between Australian and US version (example of June 2013 edition)tag:ngscollectors.ning.com,2021-11-15:1029239:Topic:2713242021-11-15T04:46:42.716ZPece Kocovskihttp://ngscollectors.ning.com/profile/PeceKocovski
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p>First some backstory. I note that on a list of maps (as found in this site and elsewhere), the june 2013 issue contains a map (or rather a perforated foldout poster) titled: </p>
<p></p>
<p><span>"Pathfinders: The Arc of Exploration/Cosmic Journeys"</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>I saw a photo online of the foldout and it looks quite familiar (as I feel like I have read it/seen it before, or it might be my mind playing tricks on me!). However, when I went to check…</span></p>
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p>First some backstory. I note that on a list of maps (as found in this site and elsewhere), the june 2013 issue contains a map (or rather a perforated foldout poster) titled: </p>
<p></p>
<p><span>"Pathfinders: The Arc of Exploration/Cosmic Journeys"</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span>I saw a photo online of the foldout and it looks quite familiar (as I feel like I have read it/seen it before, or it might be my mind playing tricks on me!). However, when I went to check in my copy I could not find the page in the June issue of 2013. I thought that perhaps the foldout was ripped out (as my copy is a second hand copy of this issue). However, I couldn't see any perforations or place where this foldout map could have been. So then I thought to myself, ah but perhaps this foldout was placed elsewhere in the UK/Australian version of the magazine. I went on the archive to see just in case and as it turns out the foldout map is indeed in this issue. I assume the archive copy is showing the American version, and not the Australian/British version. As far as I am aware I do not see a version for different regions?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Now my amazement to this is not only that I don't have this particular map in this issue, but looking at the digital archive of the 2013 issue, how much difference there is between my copy and the online/US/original version.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I will upload a few images of my copy, and I invite members of the US/original copy to compare and contrast with that they have in their issue:</p>
<p></p>
<p>-Front cover: -"FREE POSTER Exploring the Universe" line has been removed</p>
<p>-Page 3/Contents page: Different design and layout, and different written contents!</p>
<p>-Page 4 has been removed (i.e. contents page is in one page)</p>
<p>-Rolex ad same</p>
<p>-Following Editor's Note page is the "Breaking Camp" page...</p>
<p>-Australian version has no LETTERS! This whole time I assumed that the letters section was discontinued or slowly disbanded (the last time I saw the letters section was my 2014 September issue, and the 2014 October issue removed the letters in line with a new "streamlined design" But the issue online has 2 pages of letters. I quite missed reading them.</p>
<p>-No advertisement between Breaking camp and Visions sections (in fact a lot less ads in Australian version I noticed).</p>
<p>-"Your shot" section only 1 page instead of 4 (a shame to think I have been missing out on some amazing subscriber submitted photos over the years)</p>
<p>-4 pages of "Photo Journal" not present in my issue at all, right after the first page of Your shot, there is an advertisement, and on the next page it is the section on "NEXT" or the Funny Honey.</p>
<p>-No page of 2013 Emerging Explorers </p>
<p>-Next section doesn't have the page on "pier review"</p>
<p>-Next page doesn't have the Pathfinders/cosmic journey foldout (as mentioned at start)</p>
<p>-Breaking faith "next" section is positioned before the "fantastic variety and freaky features" double page spread.</p>
<p>-No Big Bends "next" section</p>
<p>-I do have the "seeing stars" section</p>
<p></p>
<p>The rest of the magazine was identical. Images were the same as were their placements, I can only assume the words are identical. (Different ads on the second last page, and the back cover, which is fair).</p>
<p></p>
<p>I wonder if the "features" are the same in every issue (or at least in every English language speaking issue), whereas the "fluff" (or entre?) at the start is done by a different department regionally and filled up as per regional interests or weight constraints? </p>
<p></p>
<p>I personally feel saddened that I have missed out on some of these features. I may go through my issues from newest to oldest and see when there is no longer a difference between the two regions. Interestingly, I also recently read the 2021 October issue, and apart from the advertisements, the content and image looks identical (from a brief glance, I am not being as thorough as I was with the 2013 June issue).</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am not sure if this is a one magazine issue in a 100 of differences, or there are dozens of magazines with these kinds of ...what feels like copy and pasting of content. Perhaps I can go through my issues and note the changes I see in the superficial level of omissions (or potentially even additions?) distinct from the US/online archive version.</p> Cabinet Photostag:ngscollectors.ning.com,2021-11-12:1029239:Topic:2713152021-11-12T02:13:47.054ZLeslie Flowershttp://ngscollectors.ning.com/profile/LeslieFlowers

<div class="product-meta js-meta-description"><p class="product-attr-value product-description"><span class="js-swap-sibling">I have a presentation wall map cabinet, c. 1970, made by the National Geographic Society that I would like to sell. The front is fitted with a framed wildlife print by Leon Danchin, the interior fitted with 19 spring-loaded roll maps of the world.<br/> <br/> This map cabinet was purchased out of an estate in Ann Arbor, MI but whether or not the individuals of this estate were the original recipients is unknown. I am able to provide the names of the previous owners on request. <br/> <br/> The front of the interior panel is cork with a mounted print by Leon Danchin (French, 1887-1938) of a green winged teal duck that is artist signed and numbered in the lower-left corner. On the upper left of the print it says Copyright By Leon Danchin Bergues Nord. The art measures 14" x 21 3/4". The inside of the front panel is a large piece of mat board.<br/> <br/> The map cabinet is mounted directly to the wall with screws through each corner of the back panel.<span> </span><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/id/1907159#" class="js-swap-trigger">les</a></span></p>

In other cabinets I've seen there were pockets for issues of NGM on the inside of the door, and this particular one doesn't have that feature. The frame is incredibly sturdy and impeccably crafted, but the interior panel is secured with thin molding on the reverse that is just lightly tacked in. It does not seem to be secured with the same craftsmanship evident in the rest of the case, so perhaps it was changed out to fit the homeowner's decor, but I do not know this for sure.</span><br/> <br/> <span>One of the maps (Japan) has lost the wooden dowel that is used to pull it down. The original pull with the brass label is in the cabinet, but it has become detached from the fabric backing to which the map is attached. Aside from Japan map and the need to better secure the interior panel to the frame, the cabinet and maps are in great condition. Please let me know if additional photos would be useful.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The Leon Danchin print is in good condition but would benefit from a remating and cleaning of the frame.</span><br/></span></dd>
