"Fatum, Goddess of Fate" is a chromolithograph from the "Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans" series, issued by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1889. This small-scale artwork depicts the Roman goddess Fortuna, or Fate, holding a golden urn and wearing a pink tunic with blue drapery. The image exemplifies the popular late-nineteenth-century trend of depicting classical themes with realistic imagery. This card, originally intended for trading, is a charming illustration of a key figure in Roman mythology.
