Bridgeman is excited to announce a new partnership with the National Geographic Image Collection.
For more than a century, the National Geographic Society's illustrators have taken readers to places beyond the reach of the camera's lens, enigmatically re-imagining the daily life of our early ancestors and detailing the rich mysteries of the natural world. Bridgeman is proud to have the most extensive collection of these beautiful illustrations available for licensing. Explore science and nature, humankind's accomplishments and conflicts, and all the wonders of the universe in a wide variety of media.
All of the images require no additional copyright clearance and are available for immediate downloading. This collection of imagery adds to an extensive selection of cultural and educational content within the Bridgeman archive suitable for licensing for a wide range of purposes, from academic publishing to product and packaging.

The National Geographic Society is one of the world’s largest nonprofit scientific and educational organizations. Founded in 1888 to “increase and diffuse geographic knowledge,” the Society works to inspire people to care about the planet.
National Geographic Magazine, the Society’s official journal, published in English and 32 local-language editions, is read by more than 35 million people each month. The magazine commissioned and published thousands of paintings, drawings and photography profoundly affecting the way we visualize our world. National Geographic has funded more than 9,200 scientific research, conservation and exploration projects and supports an education program promoting geography literacy.
