1928. Clark worked as a sculptor for Gorham. He was then offered
the job of mounting animal specimens for the American Museum of
Natural History, a position that he would hold for almost fifty
years. He was trained in the art of taxidermy under Carl Akeley in
Chicago for his job at the Natural History Museum. Clark made
models of his subjects before he undertook to set up a display in
the Museum so that he would represent the animal in its natural
state and position. Many of these models were later cast in bronze.
Later he traveled extensively to study animals in their natural
settings. Contents: The Vanishing Animals; Rhinos; Lions ;
