National (Geographic) Treasures

I've been itching to do some collaging of late - so, to get some inspiration, I looked to our massive collection of vintage (1940s-1970s) National Geographic magazines. I love how all the colors have stayed so bright and vibrant over time (Love love love that Pisa photo)! Some of my favorite finds:







I also stumbled across a huge map of Europe from the June 1957 issue - then went back for more! Most of the supplement maps have been taken out of their respective issues over the years, but I managed to salvage about ten more. Now... what to do with all those maps?
