Additional Information: Original Copy National Geographic, Vol. II, No. 1—one of the magazine’s first 36 issues ever published. Printed in a limited run of fewer than 1,000 copies, this exceptionally rare early example represents a cornerstone of the publication’s formative years. Preserved in remarkable original condition, it stands among the most desirable survivals from National Geographic’s earliest printings. A superior copy of extraordinary scarcity, unlikely to be surpassed.
