Description

This amusing pictorial map highlighting the progression from Childhood to Old Age was published in a 1940 promotional pamphlet for the Metropolitan Life Company. Various hazards to health and well-being are shown as vicious sea monsters, icebergs, and rocky shoals – all threatening to ‘sink the ship’. This is the last thing your life insurance company wants, and more practical instructional information and wellness advice is provided on the verso.
