Yes, but the Kodak image in Grand Central Station could only be viewed from 
very far away, not unlike a
billboard, whereas at National Geographic you could walk right up to them, and 
view the photos up close and
personal in all their glory.

Did Geographic go through all sorts of machinations (probably including at 
least 2 internegatives and contrast
masks), most likely.  Does that make the final 8x10 foot images from 35 mm 
originals any less valid?  No, I
think not.
