Inscriptions: "Seiber" logo lower left corner. "The Different Stages of life" left corner. On each 'step' is a verse appropriate to age: "(Birth) / Ten years of age, this happy boy, / His days are bright and full of joy / At twenty years a lover fair, / Without a fear, without a care / At thirty he is said to be / A man with happy family / At forty his hard race is run, / He fears no one, but says, "well done" / At fifty he stands still at last / And views the future and the past / At sixty, as the world will say, / He starts to go the downward way / At seventy with cane in hand, A grey- haired man he walks the land / At eighty years his locks are white, / Life's day is turning into night / At ninety, feeble, bent and lame, Life soon will leave his crumbling frame / And then, when hundred years are past, / He prays to God and breathes his last." Subject Matter: Central image of Eve giving Adam the apple.
