Additional Information: National Geographic Magazine, Vol. IV, No. 4, dated March 31, 1892,looks to be the original with its original issued map—an important survival from the publication’s earliest years. This early volume reflects the scholarly tone and exploratory focus that defined the magazine in its formative period, featuring detailed geographic research and period cartography. Examples retaining the accompanying map are particularly desirable, as such inserts were often separated or lost over time. Exceptionally scarce and seldom encountered outside institutional collections, it represents a significant and highly collectible artifact of late 19th-century geographic scholarship.
