Charles Livingston Bull
A full grown sea lion suddenly leaped high
Alligator reaching for water fowl on chain
Anteater eating ants in a tree
Away up on the top of a mountain, he made a house for North Wind
Bird with lizard in mouth, fox looking on
Flamingos and other birds feeding
Hawk made a light by striking the flints together, and set fire to the ball
He made a great big, sprawling leap up the rocky wall -- and fell down flat on his back
Large bird and small birds attacking badger
Large fish in water, rodent on branch with insects
Making a point, touching other man
Martin caught it and threw it to Bat, who was flying near the ground
Raised him dripping to the string-piece
Sea tortoises coming ashore by night
Seizing her baby by the neck scruff
Squirrel approaching mushrooms
Swerving beneath the great bulk the otter began a desperate fight for life
The great otter climbed out on a pinnacle of rock just showing above the kelp
Without a moment's delay he plunged into the fray
Charles Livingston Bull (May, 1874 - 1932) [1] was an American illustrator. Bull studied taxidermy in Rochester, New York and is known for his illustration of wildlife.[2]
Career
Bull's first job at the age of 16 was preparing animals for mounting at the Ward's Museum in Rochester, New York. He later worked as a taxidermist in Washington, D.C specializing in anatomy of birds and animals.
During World War I, he designed recruiting posters. A notable example is Join the Army Air Service. Be an American eagle! which featured an eagle fighting a black bird.[3]
Bull lived for many years near the Bronx Zoo in New York to allow close access to be able to sketch living animals. He made many trip to Central and South America studying wildlife in their natural surrounding. Stories and illustrations for this trip were published in his book, Under the Roof of the Jungle. He made many drawings to help garner public interest in eagles.[4]
Bull was a resident of Oradell, New Jersey and donated several of his works to the Oradell Public Library.[5]
