Fountain of Time - George Washington Park

This guide to the Fountain of Time in Washington Park, Chicago traces sculptor Lorado Taft's nearly two-decade effort to build his hundred-figure procession past a hooded Father Time, and the self-portrait he hid among the crowd. It follows his decision to turn to engineer John Earley's cheaper concrete-casting method after the project's budget fell short of his original marble ambitions. Look near the western end for the mustachioed figure trailing his own assistant into the crowd.
