John Goldar

Born at London in 1738, Goldar resided in Charlotte Street, Blackfriars Road, Southwark.

[2] On 16 August 1795 Goldar died suddenly of apoplexy, while walking with his daughter through Hyde Park, London.

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.
