"Courting Days" etching

About The Etchings and Engravings by John Anthony Miller

The etchings and engravings shown on this website are representative of my skills as executed over the past 22 years. Each piece shown was rendered on 16 gauge copperplate and hand-printed by myself. Each etching or engraving is hand-numbered, hand-signed and titled in pencil beneath the image by myself. No photographic reduction was used in the production of the following image. Each print normally is not printed in an edition larger than 100 to 250 prints. Keep in mind that many of my prints have worn down and the images are no longer as crisp as they once were. This is the nature of original print making and hence the high value of original etchings and engraving. Some of the editions have sold out and are no longer available.

I have made some of my prints available as Giclée  prints, which are high quality computer generated prints using archival inks and papers. These are also signed, titles and some are numbered.

"Courting Days" 
etching
 1.5" x 2.0" 
(actual size)

This is a small piece I did for Reminiscence in Miniature in 1982-83. It was one of the original eight I did for them, also this one shown is the second state of the plate. I will post a first state picture at a later date.

 

 

    
"Courting Days" enlarged greatly
Second State of 50 prints. It also went into a Third State of 50 prints and sold out.

The second state had more things added to it, like the Christmas tree and some other details which distinguished it from the first state.

Now, here are some details from the piece. A is a statue, B shows the checkerboard screen in the doorway where the mother and young man are and C shows some decorations in the tree. This one has a banner that says "Merrion" who was Commander Norm's wife.  Also you can see some globes hanging from the tree. Now please go back to see the original size of the piece.
