"Europe", a hand-colored lithograph from the "Court Game of Geography" series, was created by the brothers William and Henry Rock in the mid-19th century. The map depicts the continent of Europe with a prominent red heart placed over the German states. The map's detail includes major cities, waterways, and geographic boundaries, making it a valuable historical artifact for understanding the geography of Europe in the 1800s.
