The figures are shown on ascending steps up to age 50 and then descending, with age 100 being the lowest to the right. Each image portrays a well-dressed youth or man in appropriate attire for his position in society (i.e., gentleman, soldier, elder). Verses beneath each figure associate a depicted animal with that stage of life. In the lower center is a small vignette of three men drinking at a table while a young man and women walk away. The devil gestures between the two groups."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "This print was produced by Frederick Gleason (1814-1896). a lithographer and publisher in Boston, Massachusetts. Born in September 1814 in Germany, Gleason moved to the United States in October 1836, and began his career as a bookbinder. He became a citizen in June 1840. He is best known for establishing the popular illustrated weekly <i>Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion</i> in 1851, modelled on the Illustrated <i>London News.</i> At the time an innovation in American publishing, it brought him considerable success. After the Pictorial, Gleason published <i>Gleason's Literary Companion</i> from 1860\u00e2\u0080\u009370; <i>Gleason's Home Circle</i> from 1871\u00e2\u0080\u009390; and <i>Gleason's Monthly Companion</i> from 1872\u00e2\u0080\u009387. He was married a second time after his first wife died, and he died November 6, 1896 in Boston."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Harry T.
