"Chili" is a hand-colored map of the region of Chile, created by William and Henry Rock between 1838 and 1855. This map is part of a series called "Court Game of Geography" that combined maps with playing cards. The map features a hand-drawn outline of Chile with key cities and geographical features labeled. The card is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
