Resumen

Descripción

"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:

"A wailing infant, first she plays,
Unconscious of her future days."

2) Young girl with doll:

"Her girlish pastimes reveal for show
The cares which woman's life must know."

3) Late teen girl in grownup clothes:

"Her ripened beauty all confess
And wonder at her loveliness."

4) Bride in white dress and veil:

"A husband's arms, in hope and pride,
"Enclasp her now, a lovely bride."

5) Young mother holding baby:

"A mother's anxious love and care
With toilful heart is hers to share."

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):

"Now to the poor her hands dispense
the blessings of benevolence."

7) Middle-aged woman (first declining step):

"Absorbed in household duties now,
The weight of toil contracts her brow."

8) In black bonnet and holding handkerchief (suggesting the latter stages of mourning, perhaps her husband has died):

"She now resigns all earthbound care
And lifts her soul to heaven in prayer."

9) Old, wearing spectacles:

"At eighty years, her well-stored mind
"Imparts its blessings to her kind"

10) Bent over, using cane:

"The hoary head, us all should bless,
Who abound in ways of righteousness."

11) Sitting in chair, knitting:

"The body sinks and wastes away,
The spirit cannot know decay."

Vignette under arch: Funeral scene.

There are smaller vignettes under each of the nine steps of the arch.
