Traces the rise of National Geographic to cultural prominence, from its first publication of nude photographs in 1896 to the 1950s, when the magazine's trademark visual and textual motifs found their way into cartoon caricature, popular novels, and film, trading on the 'romance' of the magazine's distinctive visual fare.
