"Thanks for spotting this -- I will be glad to add it.  I'll wait and see if Melvin knows a reason why it might not be considered a supplement, but for the "All supplements" list it seems reasonable to add it. Mike"

March 28, 1891 South America Map

The Volume III Pages 1-30 issue of National Geographic dated March 28, 1891 contains a map of South America.  It is listed as Vol. III Plate 1.It is a multicolored map showing borders very similar to the one published in August 1906 albeit smaller in size (11 3/4" by 9 3/4").  These borders are far from the established borders of today.  One major difference between this map and the 1906 one is that Panama is still part of Colombia.  That revolution, which allowed us to build the Panama Canal,…See More

George Thomas Wilson replied to Melvin L. De Vilbiss's discussion May 1896 Anomaly
"Mel, Sorry I can't help.  My only original 1896 issue is February.  My April reprints have the black background versions so a second run for May after the ad was updated sounds plausible.  Let me what you find out. Tom  "

Hey George.  I struggle with technology, so I hope this message reaches you.  The 1888-1907 reprint set I have is hard bound.  My phone number is 425-750-0522 if you have any more questions.  Thanks for responding.  Mike
