‎Robert Sterling Clark (1877 - 1956) was an American art collector, horse breeder, philanthropist, and heir to the Singer Sewing Machine fortune. Sterling Clark served in the military on the Philippines and during the Boxer rebellion. At least one source claims he served under General Smedley Butler. He financed a expedition (1909) which sought specimens from the Yellow River into Shaanxi and then to Kansu provinces of China. He recruited the explorer Arthur de Carle Sowerby as naturalist for the trip. Image disp.‎
