NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE
The National Geographic Magazine began as a members-only scholarly
journal in the 1880s, but by the 1910s had become a wide-
circulation magazine famous for its photographs.
Most of the articles in 1925 were about Europe, Africa (primarily
North Africa), and North America (primarily the US), with almost
as many about the Arctic, due to the MacMillan expedition—seven
or eight pieces each. Hawai’i, New Zealand and Pacific Islands had
four, Central and South America three, the Middle East two, and
all of Asia only two. Global flora and fauna accounted for four
pieces, one was about global weather, one about the stars, and one
was about an automobile trip from England to India, by a Major
F.A.C. Forbes-Leith.
