Edward Goodall

Edward Goodall was a British engraver. He is now best known for his plates after J. M. W. Turner.

He was born at Leeds on 17 September 1795, and was entirely self-taught. From the age of sixteen he practised both engraving and painting. One of his pictures exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1822 or 1823 attracted the attention of Turner, and he became a landscape engraver.

Goodall died at Hampstead Road, London, on 11 April 1870.
