National Geographic is the official magazine of the National Geographic Society. It has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888, nine months after the Society itself was founded. It primarily contains articles about geography, history, and world culture. The magazine is known for its extensive use of dramatic photographs. The magazine is published monthly, and additional map supplements are also included with subscriptions. On occasion, special editions of the magazine are issued. The first issue of National Geographic Magazine was published on September 22, 1888, nine months after the Society was founded. Starting with its January 1905 publication of several full-page pictures of Tibet in 1900-1901, the magazine changed from being a text-oriented publication closer to a scientific journal to featuring extensive pictorial content, and became well known for this style. John Hyde was the first editor.This in one of the most significant issues and includes: Man's Farthest Aloft by Capt. Albert W. Stevens with 40 Illustrations, With the Nomads of Central Asia by Edward Murray with 44 Illustrations, Faces and Fashions of Asia'a Changeless Tribes by Alexandre Iacovless with 26 paintings and drawings, Birds of the Northern Seas by alexander Wetmore with 12 Illustrations, Auks and Their Northland Neighbors by Maj. Allan Brooks with 34 paintings from Life, and the famous article The National Geographic Society and Its Magazine by Gilbert Grosvenor with 24 Illustrations.Albert William Stevens (March 13, 1886 - March 26, 1949) was an officer in the United States Army Air Corps, balloonist and aerial photographer. Stevens took the first photograph of the Earth in a way that the horizon's curvature is visible. Stevens took the first photograph of the Moon's shadow projected onto the Earth during a solar eclipse in August, 1932. On 11 November 1935 Stevens, along with Captain Orvil A. Anderson of the Army Air Corps, made a record balloon ascent from near Rapid City, South Dakota. Millions listened to a live NBC broadcast. Their sealed gondola Explorer II climbed to 72,395 feet, nearly 14 miles (23 km), a record unequaled until 1956.Alexandre Yevgenievich Jacovleff (also spelt Iacovleff 25 June [O.S. 13 June] 1887 - 12 May 1938) was a Russian neoclassicist painter, draughtsman, designer and etcher. 1924 and 1925 he took part in an expedition to the Sahara desert and Equatorial Africa organized by Citroën (Croisi-24re Noire). His African paintings were a big success and as a result Jacovleff was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government in 1926. In 1928, Jacovleff organized a large personal exhibition in Moscow. Between 1931 and 1932, he was the Artistic Adviser of another Citroën expedition, this time across Asia. He traveled through Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Mongolia and China, and created a number of orientalist paintingsFrank Alexander Wetmore (June 18, 1886 - December 7, 1978) was an American ornithologist and avian paleontologist. He was the sixth Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In 1924, Wetmore joined the Smithsonian Institution as the superintendent of the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.

His painting style was more impressionist with a greater emphasis on the habitat than on fine details of plumage. Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (October 28, 1875 - February 4, 1966), father of photojournalism, was the first full-time editor of National Geographic.
