Born at London in 1738, Goldar resided in Charlotte Street, Blackfriars Road, Southwark.[1] He made a couple of forays into print publishing on his own account (of John Dixon after William Lawrenson, and much later of naval prints and after Henry Richter), but mostly worked for the book trade.[2]
Goldar is best known for his engravings of the pictures painted by John Collet, in imitation of William Hogarth. Four of these, published by John Boydell in 1782, represent a series entitled "Modern Love", and among others were The Recruiting Sergeant, The Female Bruisers, The Sacrifice, The Country Choristers, and The Refusal.[1] Similar subject matter was in his engravings after Philip Dawe, Samuel Hieronymus Grimm and Herbert Pugh.[2]
As an illustrator, Goldar's work included a History of England (1789) for John Harrison. This was based, at some distance, on that by Paul de Rapin.[3] He also had some plates in The New English Theatre (1777) published by Lowndes.[2]
