"The Life & Age of Woman - Stages of Woman's Life from the Cradle to the Grave", a ca. 1849 U.S. print illustrating 11 chronological stages of virtuous womanhood (with the 30's evidently considered to be the peak years), each accompanied by a descriptive verse couplet. At left is a flourishing green tree, at right a symbolic weeping willow. For another version of this print, see File:Life and age of woman.jpg. (For a similar German-language graphic, see File:Waldenbuch-Stufenalter der Frau52657a.jpg.) An approximate transcription of the verse couplets in the image (some of the words are quite hard to read): 1) Infant in cradle:
2) Young girl with doll:
3) Late teen girl in grownup clothes:
4) Bride in white dress and veil:
5) Young mother holding baby:
6) Dressed to go outdoors (i.e. now that she no longer has babies or toddlers in the house, she can now take an interest in matters outside the home — though in a strictly private and individual charitable capacity, of course):
7) Middle-aged woman (first declining step):
8) In black bonnet and holding handkerchief (suggesting the latter stages of mourning, perhaps her husband has died):
9) Old, wearing spectacles:
10) Bent over, using cane:
11) Sitting in chair, knitting:
