Hebe, Goddess of Youth, from the Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans series (N188) issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. 1889

This chromolithograph from the *Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans* series, created by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889, depicts Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth, pouring nectar from one vessel to another. The image is characteristic of the late 19th-century style of illustration, featuring a combination of detailed linework and vibrant colors. Hebe's youthful beauty, depicted in the image, aligns with her role in Greek mythology as the cupbearer of the gods. The card's small size, intended for a collectible set, suggests its potential use as a trade card or advertising item. This piece exemplifies the growing interest in classical mythology and the aesthetic sensibilities of the late 19th century.
