content: Found here are personal photographs of the artist, his friends and family, his Pasadena home and Palm Springs studio circa 1930, and his travels in Mexico and the American West. There is also a set of five cabinet cards of theatre portraits and the Treasure Island set that Clark designed for the Pasadena Playhouse. Photographs of artwork consist mostly of Clark's paintings but also include reproduced engravings of California circa 1850 (filed in Photographs of Artwork, The West) and Alfred Maurer's portraits. 

Negatives from the artist's personal albums contain mostly travel images of Rochefort (circa 1907), Quebec/New York (circa 1908), and the American West (circa 1919), and are accompanied by indices. Glass plate negatives document the artist's family, artwork, and Southern California landscapes. These images can be seen in the contact sheets enclosed in this series. Oversized photographs include eight "California Club" portrait paintings, two images of a mural for Polytechnic Elementary School in Pasadena, and one photograph of a screen painted for Dalzell Wilson's home in Pasadena.
