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

This is a chromolithograph from a set of trading cards issued by William S. Kimball & Company in 1889. The card depicts Suadela, the Roman goddess of persuasion. She is depicted with an elaborate headdress and a flowing gown, standing in a soft-colored background, looking towards her right. The card is a prime example of the chromolithographic printing style that was prevalent during the late 19th century. Suadela, the goddess of persuasion, is a lesser-known figure from Roman mythology, and this trading card offers a glimpse into her representation through visual art.
