Pan and Fortune. The Greek god Pan plays cards and dice, games of chance, while the winged figure of Fortune holds a cornucopia and stands on a wheel of fate. A man cuts down a tree with an axe, and a fool's marotte lies next to a tree stump. Copperplate engraving by William Blake after an illustration by Hubert Francois Bourguignon Gravelot from Fables by John Gay, with a Life of the Author, John Stockdale, London, 1793.
