Peru, from "Court Game of Geography" 1838 - 1855

"Peru" is a map from the "Court Game of Geography" created by William and Henry Rock in 1838-1855. This hand-colored lithograph is part of a larger game set that was likely popular with children during the 19th century. The map features a simple outline of Peru with major cities and rivers labeled, along with five stylized blue triangles, each placed in a strategic location. The Rock brothers utilized a distinctive artistic style that is evident in the simple lines of the map and the bold color of the triangles. This playful approach contributed to the game's appeal, making it a fun way for children to learn about geography.
