"Flora Autumnalis, Goddess of Autumn" is a chromolithograph from the "Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans" series produced by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. The artwork depicts a young woman, Flora Autumnalis, in a yellow dress and a crown of autumnal fruits and leaves. She holds a basket of ripe peaches and oranges, symbolizing the abundance of the season. The image is a prime example of the popularity of classical themes during the Victorian era. The card was likely distributed with a product, such as tobacco, in the late 19th century.
