Transcription

Early life

Gooden was the son of a picture dealer, Stephen Thomas Gooden (1856-1909), who joined Frederick W. Fox to create the company Gooden and Fox. S.F. Gooden was educated at Rugby School and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1909 to 1913. He served in the Royal Engineers during World War I.[3]

Work

Gooden was best known as an engraver, mostly on copper. His designs have been described as finely engraved, witty and inventive.[4] He was associated with the Nonesuch Press in its early years for which he provided decorations and title pages, and he illustrated fine editions of the King James Bible (1924) and the odes of Anacreon (1923). He designed banknotes for the Bank of England, but only one was issued,[5] and for several other countries. He also designed and engraved many pictorial bookplates including designs for Princess Elizabeth, Stephen Courtauld and several others.[4] Gooden's design of St George and the dragon on the bookplate for the Royal Library at Windsor Castle was used as the basis for the design of the reverse of the George Medal, for which he was awarded the CBE.

Gooden's work can be found in the collections of the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, USA.

Personal life

In 1925 he married the poet Mona Steele Price (1894–1958) for whom he illustrated an anthology of poems about cats. They had no children.
