This 1889 chromolithograph card from the "Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans" series depicts Fortuna, the Roman goddess of fortune. Fortuna, often depicted with a cornucopia overflowing with fruits, vegetables and other goods, represents luck, prosperity, and abundance. Here, the goddess is shown with a cornucopia, a wheel, and wings, symbolic of her fickle and often unexpected nature. The card was printed by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. as part of a series of collectible cards meant to be traded or collected.
