This print showcases a close-up view of South America, taken from the renowned Atlas of Gerardus Mercator in 1633. The print, published in Antwerp by Hondius and featured in The Connoisseur magazine, exudes a vibrant array of colors that bring the continent to life. With its rich hues and intricate detailing, this Belgian masterpiece captures the essence of South America's diverse landscapes and cultural heritage. The print is a testament to Mercator's exceptional cartographic skills as he meticulously delineates each country and border with precision.

This piece serves as both an artistic creation and a navigational tool for sailors during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to the thirties - a time when exploration was at its peak.

With its detailed inset maps and informative text, this print offers viewers not only visual pleasure but also valuable insights into South America's geography and topography.
