I'm a National Geographic collector who's collection comprises both printed and electronic versions of the magazine my oldest printed copy goes back to the 1920's.
I'm also an avid reader of anything geographical, philosophical, or scientific.....
Favorite National Geographic publication:
National Geographic magazine (of course), the occasional special editions, and all the national geographic maps.....
I Am thinking of posting the maps here individually as pics instead of thumbnails... I would just post from the 1880's to the early 60's...The maps and pics in those years are, to me, the best ones.
Thanks Marts..will try to post a few maps later tonight and Saturday..... Since Irene is visiting us in New England on Sunday this could be an interesting weekend...power and internet could be gone for days or even weeks.....
Thank you for your comments Philip. Yes, it was a real honor and one that I'll never forget. So was boarding the The Queens Royal Yacht in 1976 at Rarotonga. I'll post some of these photo's at a later date. Another honor was the Photographer on the Rarotonga International Airport from start to finish during the early 70's and seeing H.M. Queen Elizabeth II open it in person and photographing her doing it. Kinest regards, Bill
