Our transcontinental trip starts in the Americas and Antarctica; we then cross the Atlantic to Europe and Africa, and finally sail the Indian Ocean to Asia and Oceania. From evocative early black-and-white pictures to autochromes, from the golden age of Kodachromes to digital, National Geographic invented the aesthetic of the photo essay, while pushing the technical boundaries of the medium. Readers will discover how the magazine evolved from presenting a romantic view of the world-subjects posed and smiling-to edgier stories reflecting political turmoil, social issues, and environmental threats. Of course, the journey would not be complete without prime examples of the magazine's revered groundbreaking underwater and wildlife photography, so we've included plenty of such treasures as well. This set is a cultural investment to be cherished, shared, and passed down to future generations.
Includes photos by Steve McCurry, Frans Lanting, George Rodger, James Nachtwey, and dozens of National Geographic staffers who covered the world from Timbuktu to Tuvalu.
Praise for National Geographic
The political unrest, the carcass-eating polar bears - it's all in these National Geographic photo-essays spanning all seven continents.
New York Magazine
Historic in its breadth and scope, National Geographic: Around the World in 125 Years will probably outlive the time it covers; it's the kind of carefully compiled, trans-continental collection that will remain relevant for many years to come.
Bespoke
Works of art that remind you of the beauty and power of print.
Miami Herald
A plethora of equally awe-inspiring images all of which will make those city skyline snaps you took on your phone seem a little lame by comparison.
