This small hand-colored map of Colombia, created by William and Henry Rock in the mid-19th century, depicts the country's geographical features and major cities. Featuring a detailed outline of Colombia, the map includes rivers, the Caribbean Sea, and the Pacific Ocean, as well as key cities like Cartagena, Guayaquil, and Bogotá. The map is a charming example of early cartography and a fascinating glimpse into the country's representation during the mid-19th century. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
