Pan and Fortune
- Title
- Pan and Fortune
- Student Commentary:
- In this illustration to the “Pan and Fortune” story in the Fables of John Gay, the half goat / half man Pan is pictured to the left. Pan is playing with dice and cards. To the right is a winged figure standing on a wheel holding a cornucopia, the personification of Fortune. Behind these two main figures are men with axes at work. Blake would have engraved this image, on commission, from a design by someone else. Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
