The Fountain of Time by Lorado Taft



The Fountain of Time is a massive, 102-foot-long combination sculpture and reflecting pool.



The Fountain of Time was intended as one in a series of bridges, monuments, and figures to stretch between Washington Park and Jackson Park.



After more than a dozen years of work it was unveiled at the west end of Chicago's Midway Plaisance in 1922. Based on poet Austin Dobson's lines:

"Time goes, you say? Ah no, Alas, time stays, we go."

The fountain shows a cloaked figure of time observing the stream of humanity flowing past.
