John Oliver La Gorce (1880-1959) was an American writer and explorer known for his work in the National Geographic Society. He served as Associate Editor of the Society from 1905 to 1922, Vice President from 1922 to 1954, and President from 1954 to 1957, before retiring at the age of 77. He also write many articles for the Magazine. His biggest interest was perhaps in fishes, and in 1919 he participated in a hunt that brought in a 22-foot manta ray, the world's biggest to date. He also helped produce the world's first underwater photographs in 1926, and edited all versions of the National Geographic's The Book of Fishes. Charles Haskins Townsend, Sc.D. (September 29, 1859 ? January 28, 1944) was an American zoologist. In 1883, he became assistant United States Fish Commissioner in charge of salmon propagation in California. For a time, he was in charge of deep-sea explorations on the USS Albatross.[3] From 1897 to 1902, he served as chief of the Fish Commission's fisheries division. He then served as director of the New York Aquarium at Castle Garden, from 1902 until his retirement in 1937. Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray was a Bermudian naturalist. Louis Leon Arthur Mowbray was hired by the Bermuda Natural History Society as director for Bermuda's first aquarium. In 1911 he became director of the South Boston Aquarium which he ran for three years. In 1914, he became superintendent of the New York Aquarium. In 1928 he became director of the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo which he ran until 1944. Mowbray successfully bred the first Galapagos tortoises and Galapagos penguins in captivity. Hashime Murayama (1879?1954) was a Japanese American painter. He was best known for his exquisite paintings of birds, insects, fish, mammals, and other wildlife. His work was featured in The National Geographic Magazine from 1921 to 1941. As an artist at National Geographic, he paid meticulous attention to his drawings, adding his distinct style to them and making them instantly popular. Fish were his personal favorites. To get sources from which to study, he kept bug specimens in a jar and visited aquariums to look at frogs, trout and salmon. After a career of over twenty years as an artist, Murayama was fired in September 1941 for being an immigrant (and because Japan-United States relations were about to be severed due to the attack on Pearl Harbor) and placed under arrest. Revised and Enlarged Edition, presumed first printing thus. Hashime Murayama and Else Bostelmann (illustrator).…

Copyright 1939 by the National Geographic Society. Condition: Near Fine, mild spine toning, tight and clean; an exceptional copy with a notable association inscription by a key National Geographic editor and explorer. John Oliver La Gorce (1880-1959) was a pioneering editor, writer, and explorer who played a central role in shaping the National Geographic Society's golden age of publication. Joining the Society in its early years, La Gorce served as Vice President, Associate Editor, and later President (1954-1957), helping guide its evolution from a scholarly journal into one of the world's most influential illustrated magazines. A passionate naturalist and traveler, he authored and edited numerous National Geographic volumes, including The Book of Fishes and The Book of Wild Animals of North America, and championed scientific exploration and photographic storytelling. His collaborations with artists such as Hashime Murayama and Else Bostelmann advanced the Society's signature blend of art, science, and education, leaving a lasting imprint on 20th-century popular science publishing. Hashime Murayama (1879-1954) was a Japanese-born American scientific illustrator celebrated for his exquisitely detailed watercolor paintings of wildlife and marine life for the National Geographic Society. Trained in fine art and natural science, Murayama emigrated to the United States in the early 20th century and became one of National Geographic's most accomplished staff artists. His paintings for volumes such as The Book of Fishes (1939), The Book of Birds, and Wild Animals of North America combined anatomical precision with luminous color and composition, elevating natural history illustration to an art form. Murayama's meticulous studies, often based on direct observation and dissections, helped introduce millions of readers to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. His work remains among the most admired in the Society's visual legacy and is still prized by collectors of early National Geographic publications and American wildlife art. This presentation of The Book of Fishes, fresh from the press in December 1939, reflects the close relationship between early conservation-minded legislators and the scientific publishing community that shaped America's environmental awareness. A fine and historically significant copy linking two central figures in the evolution of American natural history and public science. Hashime Murayama and Else Bostelmann (illustrator).
