Quivira, from the playing cards "Jeu de la Géographie" 1644

"Quivira" is an etching from a set of playing cards known as *Jeu de la Géographie*, created by Stefano della Bella in 1644. The card depicts a stylized Native American figure holding a spear, representing the mythical land of Quivira, thought to be located in what is now the American Southwest. The *Jeu de la Géographie* cards were popular in Europe during the 17th century, reflecting the growing fascination with exploration and geographical discovery. This particular card is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
