National Geographic Poster Collection
Very educational indeed!
I grew up with National Geographic. As an adult I continue to love NG, educate myself with it, admire the quality of National Geographic Photography, on the spot reports, and the great talent of their reporters... sometime they put themselves in danger just to give us an accurate image or event.
I find out about world places I don't know that even exist, I learn a lot about people, global problems, poverty, innovations, arts and artists... it is a long list but in a nut shell...
National Geographic is oriented toward humanity in general: people life, education, makes our life better, and this is why it is so educative and precious.
The NG Magasine contains articles about geography, world history, culture, popular science, current events and photography of places and things all over the world.
It was a great surprise for me to discover that AllPosters has a category "National Geographic Collection".
I give you some examples here to make my point.
National Geographic History
The National Geographic Society started on January, 1888 as a club of academics and wealthy people interested in travel. The aim was to increase and distribute the geographical knowledge by promoting the conservation of the worlds cultural, historical, and natural resources.
In the picture you see the building of National Geographic in Washington DC.

These are gorgeous photos. Brilliant!
Yes this is what I like about them, the quality of pictures and the quality of articles.
Thanks for stopping by.
What I always admire was the quality of presentation: photos, maps, details. Sure the articles are related with the personality, culture, knowledge, even politics and affiliate of the authors. It is a say that if you have more then 3 person in a room, you have more the 3 oppinions... But I have to admit that I learn a lot from NG.
Thanks for reading my article.
Loved this. NG has always been a favorite as far as the pix are concerned even though I disagree with the 'million of years concept' often found in many of the articles...
Bill's favorite for years!!
