Sculptor Moses Wainer Dykaar carved former Speaker Champ Clark’s bust for the House in 1918. “I began the clay work in the speaker’s office, and completed it there,” Dykaar recalled. “I put a lot of time on it—two months on the clay model alone.” Soon after its completion, newspapers printed photographs like this of Clark next to the finished marble version, nearly indistinguishable from the shoulders up.
