Alexander Graham Bell's office at the National Geographic
The telephone was not his only dream, nor was it his only invention. Among
his countless contributions, Alexander Graham Bell was among the
original founders of the National Geographic Society. His father-in-law
(Gardiner Green Hubbard) was the Society’s first president, and in
turn, Alexander’s son-in-law became the first, full-time editor of
National Geographic magazine. Alexander himself officially served as
Society president and unofficially served as a kind of warm-hearted
grandfather to the organization. When he died in 1922, the September
issue of National Geographic ran a full-page tribute to “Founder,
former President and senior Trustee of the National Geographic
Society,” which included a distinguished photographic portrait of the
inventor (Dr. Bell, as he was later known, was quite fond of
photography and was instrumental in making it a priority of the
magazine). - National Geographic Society
