Two illustrations for "The Economy of Human Life" 1834

This pair of illustrations by Frank Howard, created in 1834, are from the book "The Economy of Human Life". The engravings depict scenes from the book's text, including an older man seated in a chair speaking to two children on the left and an older man seated with his family on the right. The illustrations, printed in black and white, are framed within a circle and surrounded by text on a light grey background. The artwork, now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, was created in the style of book illustration that was popular during the early nineteenth century, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of family and morality.
