              <text>Inscription: Recto: [Caption printed below each figure, depicting the ages, which appear above the heads of the figures:] [baby:]In swaddling clothes behold the bud of sweet and gentle womanwood. 5. Next she foreshews with mimic plays, the business of her future days. 15. Now glorious as a full-blown flower; the heart of manhood feels her power. 20. A husband now her arms entwine, she clings around him like the vine. 30. No bearing fruit she rears her boys, and tastes a mother's pains and joys. 50. Like sparkling fountain gushing forth, she proves a blessing to the earth. 60. A busy housewife full of cares, the daily food her hand prepares. 70. As age creeps on she seeks for grace, always to church and in her place. 80. Now second childhood loosens all her tongue, she talks of love and prattles with the young. 90. A useless cumberer on the Earth, from house to house they send her forth. 100. Chained to her chair by weight of years she listless knits till death appears.
