The Goddess and Public History

This group of images is from the Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans series, 1889. These cards are just delightful. They are a bit old-timey, and they do not represent diversity, but they do a good job of getting across the essences of these fifty goddesses. You can find all Fifty here.

They are formally listed as, "Trade cards from the Goddesses of the Greeks and Romans series (N188), issued in an unnumbered set of 50 cards in 1889 by W.S. Kimball & Co.

Issued by William S. Kimball & Company

Lithography by Ketterlinus Lithography Company American
