"Turkey in Asia" is a hand-colored map print from the "Court Game of Geography", a card game created by William and Henry Rock in the mid-19th century. The map, which features a stylized outline of Turkey in Asia, includes various cities and geographic features, as well as prominent yellow diamonds that serve as markers for the card game. The game was intended to be both educational and entertaining, encouraging players to learn about geography and history through play. The map’s design reflects the style of cartography popular in the 19th century.
