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

This trade card from 1889 depicts Leukothea, the Greek goddess of sailors, by William S. Kimball & Company. She is depicted as a beautiful woman with flowing hair, holding a piece of fabric in one hand as if to shield herself from a bolt of lightning above her. The card is part of the "Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans" series issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co., which was likely distributed with a product like tobacco. This type of card was a popular form of advertising in the late 19th century. The image incorporates classical elements like the lightning bolt, which is a symbol of Zeus and the ocean, illustrating Leukothea's domain over the seas.
