"Field Sport Of The Native Inhabitants Of New South Wales" is a significant early 19th-century work by John Heaviside Clark, an accomplished British artist and engraver known for his landscape and genre scenes. Published in 1813, this work is a collection of hand-colored aquatint engravings that depict various aspects of the traditional hunting and sporting practices of the Aboriginal peoples of New South Wales, Australia. Clark's illustrations are among the earliest visual records of Indigenous Australian culture, providing valuable insights into their daily lives, skills, and interactions with the natural environment.

The publication consists of a series of plates, each accompanied by descriptive text that explains the depicted activities and the techniques employed by the Aboriginal hunters. These activities include hunting kangaroos, fishing, and using traditional weapons such as spears and boomerangs. Clark's work is notable for its attempt to portray these practices with a degree of accuracy and respect, although it is inevitably influenced by the colonial perspectives of the time.

"Field Sport Of The Native Inhabitants Of New South Wales" holds historical significance as it captures a way of life that was rapidly changing due to European colonization. The work is an important resource for historians, anthropologists, and art historians studying early European representations of Indigenous Australians. Despite its colonial context, Clark's engravings contribute to the broader understanding of Aboriginal culture and the impact of European settlement on Indigenous communities.

The work is also a testament to Clark's skill as an artist and his ability to convey dynamic scenes with a sense of movement and detail. His use of aquatint, a technique that allows for subtle gradations of tone, enhances the visual appeal of the illustrations and underscores his reputation as a master of this medium. Today, "Field Sport Of The Native Inhabitants Of New South Wales" is considered a valuable collector's item and is held in various libraries and museums around the world.
