Rather than capturing a single moment, this print lays out a woman's life in successive stages, as its title promises. Pictures of this kind, which trace a woman from girlhood through marriage, motherhood and old age, were a popular format in the nineteenth century, when inexpensive prints hung in parlors and schoolrooms. Such series often carried a moral message about duty, domestic devotion and the roles women were expected to fill within the family. Viewers can trace those changes through each stage's clothing, setting and activities.
