This engraving presents Juno, the Roman queen of the gods, whose figure was drawn from Greek Hera and whose myths were retold widely in the nineteenth century. Her attributes, including the peacock associated with her, made her easy to recognize in classical imagery. The record dates the print to about 1825, a period when engravings of mythological subjects were common in books, schoolroom texts and decorative albums that drew on neoclassical taste. The print's maker is not named in the record, so its exact purpose and circulation remain uncertain.
