EXCELLENT CONDITION

You're bidding on another one of our National Geographic magazines. It is in excellent condition. Some of our oldest magazines are unique pieces of collection. The insert supplement is available in my ebay store.

Articles in this magazine are as follows:

• La Ruta Maya. Mexico-Guatemala-Belize-Honduras-El Salvador. From the buried cities of one of the greatest American civilizations, the ancient Maya still speak, if you can get close enough to listen. In a major report, Editor Wilbur E. Garrett traces the Maya culture and outlines an ambitious plan for a 1,500-mile tour route encircling the Maya realm. Photographs by Kenneth Garrett.
• Copan (Honduras): A Royal Maya Tomb Discovered. Last June, for the first time in a century of excavation at Copan, the tomb of a Maya nobleman was unearthed there. Archaeologists Ricardo Agurcia Fasquelle and William L. Fash, Jr., report on their find. Photographs by Kenneth Garrett.
• Copan (Honduras): City of the Kings and Commoners. New discoveries at Copan in western Honduras help explain the mysterious “collapse” of this Maya capital a millennium ago. Archaeologist George E. Stuart and photographer Kenneth Garrett document the work of an international team of scholars.
• New Zealand’s Magic Waters. A rich and beguiling tapestry of life fills the seas off New Zealand. Underwater photographer David Doubilet portrays this vivid world.
• Seizing the Light: Photography’s First Fifty Years. In the 150th year of the practical art of picture taking, historic images show the advances made in the opening five decades. With an evocative essay by Erla Zwingle.
• Heyday of the Horse Ferry: A long-forgotten animal powered craft is discovered on the bottom of Lake Champlain. In the early 1800s ferries powered by horses and mules plied rivers and lakes of the eastern United States, though they were soon displaced by the steamboat. Marine archaeologist Donald G. Shomette reports on one such teamboat found sunk in Lake Champlain.
