"Netherlands, from 'Court Game of Geography'" is a map card from a game created by William and Henry Rock in 1838-1855. This small, hand-colored map depicts the Netherlands with its major cities, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. The map is part of a game that aimed to educate children about geography through a fun and engaging format. The game involved identifying locations on a map using cards, making it a popular educational tool in the 19th century. The card, featuring a red heart in the center, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
