"Italy" is a card from the "Court Game of Geography" created by the British artists William and Henry Rock in 1838 - 1855. This small, hand-colored map of Italy, which is part of a larger set, features playing card symbols overlaid onto a simple outline of the country. The map is a part of a playful game, and it highlights the popular image of Italy as a heart-shaped country. This artwork can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
