The Wheel of Fortune,whole folio The queen is in the centre of the wheel. The four figures of a king round the wheel are grasping,wearing,losing,and without a crown,referring to their ascent and descent. The fallen king drops his sceptre. The falling and fallen kings are bearded; an allusion to the ages of man. Image taken from Holkham Bible Picture Book. Originally published in England,circa 1320-1330 | |
