The Royal Geographical Society, founded in 1830, has played a significant role in the exploration and understanding of our world. With its headquarters located in London, this prestigious society has attracted renowned artists and adventurers from around the globe. In Scotland during the 1930s, artist C Reid captured the breathtaking landscapes that have long fascinated geographers. Meanwhile, Harold Spender's artwork took us on a journey to Greece during the same era, showcasing its rich history and captivating beauty. Verney Lovett Cameron is one of many notable figures associated with the Royal Geographical Society. His black-and-white photograph portrays him as a determined explorer ready to conquer uncharted territories. Lieutenant Verney Lovett Cameron's engraving further immortalizes his contributions to geographical research. Sir Samuel Baker graced the halls of the Royal Geographical Society where he delivered an impactful speech attended by none other than HRH Prince of Wales himself - an event forever etched into history through an exquisite engraving. A lighthearted Punch cartoon depicted members donning new official costumes at this esteemed society. The Gold Medal presented to Mr Stanley by the Royal Geographical Society symbolizes recognition for his remarkable achievements in exploration. Another engraving captures Lieutenant Cameron amidst a meeting at this illustrious institution - a testament to camaraderie among fellow explorers. The British Association met in 1893 with representatives from various fields including geography. An enchanting engraving showcases presidents gathered together discussing advancements and discoveries that would shape our understanding of Earth's mysteries. Illustrations by F. L James shed light on "The Wild Tribes of Sudan, " providing invaluable insights into cultures previously unknown to many outside their borders. The Royal Albert Hall served as a grand venue for another momentous gathering where Mr Stanley captivated audiences with his words about distant lands and adventures yet untold. Mr Young described his search for Dr Livingstone at Burlington House during another memorable meeting held by the Royal Geographical Society.
