This chromolithograph, "Terra, Goddess of the Earth," is from the "Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The image depicts Terra, the Roman goddess of the earth, as a beautiful young woman, clothed in flowing garments, against a backdrop of clouds and sky. She holds a golden globe, symbolizing her dominion over the earth. This card, measuring just 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches, is a charming example of the artistic style of late 19th-century chromolithography. The detailed portrayal of Terra, combined with the vivid colors and intricate details, makes this card a visually engaging piece of art.
