The magazine is known for its The magazine is known for its thick square-bound glossy format with a yellow rectangular border and its extensive use of dramatic photographs. The magazine's metamorphosis was engineered by its first full-time editor, Gilbert H. Grosvenor. One of Grosvenor's earliest legacies was the use of first-person narrative and straightforward, simple writing. By 1910 the magazine also was distinguished by the growing use of photographs and its cover had adopted the border of oak and laurel leaves, acorns and hemispheres that characterized it for the next six decades. The magazine is published monthly, and some map supplements are also included with subscriptions. On occasion, special editions of the magazine are issued.

Pittier (with 32 illustrations), The Erratic by O. A. Ljungstedt (with 6 illustrations), A Primitive Gryoscope in Liberia by G. N. Collins (illustrated), and European Tributes to Peary (illustrated).

He graduated as an engineer from the University of Jena and moved to Costa Rica in 1887, where he founded the Physical Geographic Institute and an herbarium. Pittier arrived in Venezuela in 1917, where he classified more than 30,000 plants and devoted many years to studying the flora and fauna in the country.
