Walter Goodman (11 May 1838 – 20 August 1912) was an English painter, illustrator and author.
The son of English portrait painter Julia Salaman (1812–1906) and London linen draper and town councillor, Louis Goodman (1811–1876), he studied with J. M. Leigh and at the Royal Academy in London, where he was admitted as a student in 1851. Recent research has unearthed details of more than one hundred works by Goodman. The present whereabouts of most these are unknown, notable exceptions being The Printseller's Window (c. 1882), acquired by the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester in 1998, portraits of actresses Mary Anne Keeley (also known as Mrs. Keeley At Fourscore) and Fanny Stirling (1885), both in the collection of London's Garrick Club, A Kitchen Cabinet (1882) in a private collection in the US, and a Cuban scene, Home of the Bamboo, in a private collection in Sweden. Several sketches, paintings and water colours, are still in the possession of Walter Goodman's descendants.
One of Goodman's earliest recorded works is his depiction of the 1858 trial of Dr Simon Bernard over the attempted assassination of Napoleon III. The painting hung in the home of Goodman's uncle, Sir John Simon (1818–1897), who worked on the trial as Edwin James' junior. The same year The Liverpool Academy exhibited Doctoring The Cane, which was then exhibited the following year by The British Institution on Pall Mall in London.Doctoring the Cane was exhibited and sold as an Art Union prize at the annual exhibition in Manchester, probably in 1859. The British Institution also exhibited Bible Stories in 1861.
