The island
Mangareva is the largest island of the Gambier group in French Polynesia, far to the southeast of Tahiti. It is a steep, curved ridge of volcanic land, with Mount Duff rising above the main village of Rikitea. The island sits within a broad lagoon shared with several smaller high islands, the whole group enclosed by a barrier reef that appears on a map as a thin, broken ring.
Rikitea holds nearly all of the island's streets, a short strip of lanes along the shore below the mountain. Its best-known building is the Cathedral of Saint Michael, built by Catholic missionaries in the nineteenth century and decorated with mother-of-pearl. Today the lagoon is known for black pearl farming, and its calm water supports much of the island's life.
A Mangareva map poster is one of the more unusual compositions in the collection: a slender curve of land, a cluster of companion islands and a great deal of lagoon, all held within a faint line of reef. The balance of mass and space is striking in monochrome and works particularly well at larger sizes, where the reef stays legible.
The main village follows the shore at the foot of Mount Duff, where a small set of lanes makes up almost all of the island's street network.
A wide lagoon surrounds Mangareva and its neighbouring islands, giving the map a large, calm field of water within which the island's crescent is set.
A reef encircles the group at a distance, drawn as a thin, interrupted line that frames the composition and marks the edge of the open ocean.

Why Mangareva
Mangareva is remote enough that most people who hang it have a real tie to it: family, a posting, a long sailing passage or a once-in-a-lifetime visit. Its crescent inside a ring of reef is also simply a beautiful shape.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with a name, a boat or the date of arrival. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand; Noir turns the lagoon into deep shadow, while Paper and Sand keep it light and open.
