@evelyntheriault -- I think that the "Bellman" in Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's tragicomedy "The Hunting of the Snark" is a reference to various persons and allegories. "Father Time" might be among them.

And what morning would be complete without some minor grandfather clock “maintenance” and winding before setting out for the day.

As the moon climbs high o’er the dead oak tree, spooks arrive for the midnight spree. Creepy creeps with eerie eyes start to shriek and harmonize. Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize!

[5/5] For my final post of this thread, I bring you my favourite Father Time image. This is Father Time (with a scythe and hourglass) greeting Santa Claus (with a sack of toys) and a small child representing the New Year (1894).

As night falls on 2022 and Father Time hands over to the next guy here’s hoping 2023 is better than the last one. Happy New Year

[4/5] This Father Time lights a cigar to symbolize 1876 while 1875 goes up in smoke. It's captioned "Derniere fumee, premier feu!" which translates as "Last smoke, first fire".
Santa Claus has also smoked as far back as the Victorian age, although that has changed recently 😃
Fire is, of course, a recurring symbol in midwinter traditions.

[2/5] Father Time's wings (in former post) and timepiece date back most recently to Renaissance artists and then still further back to the Greek god Chronos. Chronos sometimes had wings and he eventually became the God of Time. Chronos was originally a god of agriculture, hence the scythe 😀
This Father Time dates back to 1875/76 and is by the artist Massicotte.

[1/5] Growing up in Quebec in the ‘50s it was still common to see images of Father Time at New Year's. Out of curiosity, I looked him up and I’d like to share these historic images which are all drawn from Quebec periodicals.
This first is a winged Father Time from 1901 holding an hourglass, by the well-known Quebec artist Edmond-Joseph Massicotte. Source: BANQ
