"Tibet" is a hand-colored engraving on paper from the 1830s to 1850s by William and Henry Rock, depicting a simplified map of the region. This map is part of a larger series called "Court Game of Geography", a collection of playing cards depicting maps of different regions. The card features the region of Tibet with its geographic features marked and labeled in English, including the mountains, rivers, and cities. The use of bold outlines and simple labels highlights key locations and features, making it a valuable resource for historical geographic studies.
