Fortune Magazine started publishing 81 years ago this month, just four months after the start of the Great Depression, and most appropriately used an archaic image of the wheel of fortune for its first cover.

Loonngg before the TV show, 'Wheel of Fortune', Rota Fortunae was an archaic concept referring to the capricious nature of Fate, as used by Jean Delville in the image below.

And gives a good excuse to pull up the image below because it too was painted by Jean Delville, which preceded, and I'll bet was an inspiration for, Kahlil Gibran's spiritual love art.

Where were you when I was looking for a great cover image for my PARS FORTUNA game?
I love the way you describe it: "I find myself here at the magic machine, calling up more images." Thank you for sharing the magic.
