1844
The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts exhibited Thomas Cole’s four-part Voyage of Life in Philadelphia in 1844. Childhood, Youth, Manhood and Old Age were listed consecutively as catalogue numbers 1 through 4. The connected canvases are Cole’s 1842 series; similarly titled versions are not substituted for them. The original full checklist and exact opening and closing dates remain unverified; each connection is supported by the surviving object’s own exhibition history.
