About John Heaviside (Waterloo) Clark
Scottish aquatint engraver and painter of seascapes and landscapes John Heaviside Clark, was born in about 1770. Clark exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy between 1801 and 1832. He is not known to have visited Australia, but is known for the ten coloured plates engraved from his drawings by M. Dubourg of Aboriginal and Australian animal studies. It has been suggested that the drawings may have been taken from original sketches by John William Lewin.
