Buenos Aires, from "Court Game of Geography" 1838 - 1855

"Buenos Aires" is a hand-colored lithograph from the "Court Game of Geography" series created by the English artists William and Henry Rock in the mid-19th century. This map highlights the Buenos Aires province of Argentina and its surrounding territories. The blue arrowheads along with the text, "Buenos Ayres" are the key elements of this map, which was produced in 1838-1855. The map, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a small but significant piece of 19th-century cartographic artwork.
