In this print, the farm setting carries the allegory. Its title, "Childhood, The Season of Joy," marks it as the first of four stages in a life told through the seasons, with the farmyard standing in for spring and the years of play before work begins. Rural scenes like this were popular in the nineteenth century, when many American families still lived on farms and sentimental images of country childhood sold well. Viewers often read such pictures as a reminder that youth is brief and that the later stages of life, each with its own season, will follow.
