"George Bouverie Goddard (25 December 1832 in Salisbury - 6 March 1886 in Hammersmith, London), was a British sporting and animal painter and illustrator.

From age ten, the drawings of this youthful genius were in great demand, even though he had received no formal artistic training, and faced much opposition in choosing art as a profession. Arriving in London in 1849, he spent some two years in sketching animal life in the Zoological Gardens. During this period he eked out a living by drawing on wood sporting illustrations for Punch and other periodicals. On his return to Salisbury he received numerous commissions, but finding the scope of these too limited, he returned and settled in London in 1857". (Source: Wikipedia)
