National Geographic releases a Tumblr of rare images for 125th anniversary

National Geographic has been the source of many wonderful and breathtaking photos that have defined human life and nature alike over the years, and to commemorate its 125th anniversary, the magazine has released a Tumblr page with rare images from its archives. Called “Found", National Geographic's Tumblr blog is a treasure trove of lost, rare and unpublished images. Some of the most breathtaking and rare images include a view of the Taj Mahal on the banks of the Yamuna river in 1923 and  an image of Alexander Graham Bell kissing his wife who is standing within a tetrahedral kite that dates back to 1903 amongst others. The initiative is headed by William Bonner who also happens to curate Nat Geo’s extensive photography archive in Washington D. C. Even after years of digging through the shelves of the archive, says the blog, Bonner still continues to find new stories and inspiring images, most of which are not available to the public eye.
