The National Geographic, formerly known as The National Geographic Magazine, is the National Geographic Society's official publication. Ever since the first issue in 1888, it has been printed. Nine months had passed since the Society's founding at the time. The majority of the articles are about geography, history, and culture around the world. The yellow rectangular border that surrounds each issue's cover is its most recognisable trademark.
