The title places this picture in an allegorical series that compares the stages of a life to the seasons of the year, with Youth standing for spring, the season of new growth and early promise. The farm setting ties that idea to the land, since rural scenes of planting and early growth were a favorite way for 19th-century American printmakers to speak about hope and fresh starts. Prints in this vein were popular with families who hung them in parlors, where their messages were meant to be read at a glance.
