"Artist Lorado Taft’s sculptural allegory of humanity’s relationship with time positions a tall, imposing figure across a reflecting pool from a 110-foot-long mass of figures representing the universal human themes of love, war and the cycle of life. This sea of humanity appears to strain in unison across the void toward the solitary figure." -CityofChicago.org

Measuring 126 feet 10 inches (38.66 m) in length, the sculpture was inspired by Henry Austin Dobson's poem, "Paradox of Time.” With its 100 figures passing before Father Time, the work was created as a monument to the first 100 years of peace between the United States and Great Britain, resulting from the Treaty of Ghent in 1814.
A hundred figures moving in procession while a statue of "Father Time" looks down from across a reflection pool.
