<p>A little off topic here, but when you posted this photo, I had to rummage through my collection to find this little item:</p>

<p>In your "Outside Looking In" Group I have a list of items in my possession published by outside sources about the National Geographic Society entitled "<a href="http://ngscollectors.ning.com/group/outside-looking-in-how-the-world-views-the-yellow-/forum/topics/how-other-see-us-articles-about-national-geographic-in-other" target="_self">How Others See Us</a>". In it there is listed a serial which ran in the <em>Hampton's Magazine</em> from January through September 1910 written by Adm. Peary entitled "The Discovery of the North Pole". I was able to find this hardbound compilation of that nine-part series, killing nine birds with one stone, so to speak.</p>

<p>Mel,</p>
<p>Actually my theory got turned around once I located the book I was seeking in my holdings. So here is a 1909 book published by Frederick A. Stokes Co., "The North Pole" by Robert E. Peary. It came with an glued-in map in on the back cover board . . . the same 1907 map included with the July 1907 issue of NGM! Perhaps not coincidentally, the books' lengthy Foreword is by Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor.</p>

Perhaps not coincidentally, the books' lengthy Foreword is by Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor.</p>
<p>We know that Grosvenor and the NGS cultivated close ties with other entities, namely government agencies in the early decades. This led to most or all the maps and map supplements of pre-1915, which was the year the Society inaugurated it's own Cartographic Division.</p>
<p>So my theory about your one copy void of NGM issue info. was that NGM was using surplus old stock of Arctic maps produced by some other agency, and then when they ran out, the balance of copies were printed with the "supplement to July 1097 issue of National Geographic Magazine" line.</p>
<p>Well, since this book "The North Pole" is dated 1909, my theory does not work. And to top it off, the map included does have "supplement to July 1907 NGM" printed on it, so ha-ha! <em>Turns out NGM was sharing it's excess copies</em> with a favored collaborator eh.</p>

<p>Sorry I wasn't clear, Harold. I should have said that since the magazines were originals and the maps were attached, the maps were, therefore, originals. But the two maps are different, so there were two production runs. The reprint maps are attached to the reprint magazines as well.</p>
