Your Fortune is a set of photographic poscards in which a middle aged woman foretells the future for one or more upper class young women. Each card contains a rhymed poem about tasseomancy in English, similar in meter and scansion to the Poetry on Cups and Saucers. These postcards were printed in Belgium. There are six cards in the set

Your Fortune Photo Series Postcard No. 1, A New Lover, circa 1905 - 1910. The text reads::
A new lover now I see,
a jealous lover, seems to me;
at odds he'll quickly be with thee.
J.W.S.
