National Geographic Magazine. Reprint of volumes 1 through volume 16 (1888 - 1905) in thirteen volumes

Washington, D. C.: National Geographic Magazine, No date. reprint. Bound in half red leather with spines stamped in gilt with red cloth boards. A high quality reproduction of the first sixteen years of this landmark magazine including all covers and all maps and charts bound in. Printed on a heavy calendered (smooth and glossy) stock causing each volume to weigh about 4 1/2 pounds. The choice of paper makes the text and maps especially readable. An impressive endeavor.
