Award-Winning Design by Mary Spence MBE
Scale: 1:7,000,000 | Made in Australia
✨ A Continent of Wonder, Captured in Unrivalled Detail
From the emerald canopy of the Amazon Rainforest to the snow-draped ridges of the Andes, from the tango rhythms of Buenos Aires to the mysterious ruins of Machu Picchu — South America is a continent of contrasts and marvels, and this map captures them all in breathtaking political detail.
Created by Mary Spence MBE, one of the world’s most celebrated living cartographers, this piece is more than a map — it’s a window into a continent. Nations are rendered in distinct, vibrant colours, borders are crisp and precise, and the artistry of the design ensures that every label and landmark is clear without clutter.
Whether it’s displayed in a home office, classroom, travel agency, or corporate boardroom, this is a map that invites conversation, sparks curiosity, and inspires exploration.
