This monument celebrating the 100th anniversary of the State of Illinois was designed by Henry Bacon, the architect who collaborated with Daniel Chester French on the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and executed by Evelyn Beatrice Longman, one of the most successful and prolific sculptors of her time. Longman studied with Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft and worked as an assistant in the studios of Herman Atkins McNeil and Daniel Chester French.
