John Goddard (fl. 1645–1671) was an early English engraver.[1] He was apprenticed to the engraver Robert Vaughan in 1631.[2]
Goddard is known mostly from a few portraits and book illustrations. The portraits include:[1]
He engraved the title-page to William Austin's translation of Cicero's treatise, Cato Major, published in 1671. For Thomas Fuller's Pisgah-sight of Palestine, published in 1645, Goddard engraved the sheet of armorial bearings at the beginning, and some of the maps, including a ground plan of the Temple of Solomon.[1] He worked also for the arms painter Sylvanus Morgan, and the writing-teachers Richard Gething and Thomas Shelton, and engraved maps for John Ferrar and Peter Heylyn.[2] Further plates by him are known, including a set of The Seven Deadly Sins.[1]
