Description

This December 2003 issue of National Geographic holds a landmark place in photography history as the first issue ever to feature a digitally captured photograph on its cover, - marking the end of an era in which every National Geographic cover had been shot on film. The cover and interior photographs were made by Joe McNally, one of the most celebrated photojournalists of his generation and a master of complex lighting. The issue is personally inscribed, For Tim! and signed by McNally in 2024, indicating a recent in-person encounter. The combination of its historic significance as a digital photography milestone and the personal signature of the photographer makes this a genuinely special and collectible piece.
