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.

This copperplate etching  was one of seven pieces that I did for the Chicago Art Museum's Thorne Rooms Collection in 1982 in conjunction with Reminiscence in Miniature, Inc. who was to do the majority of the marketing of the pieces. It is an exact replication of an engraving that I selected to reproduce when I was there. On the walls of the Art Institute hung some paintings and prints of some very famous artists. It was a thrill when I walked into the gift shop and saw my work for sale there.

The fisherman, his pole and basket with fish in it.
Enlargement. Notice the little sheep in the middle ground and the people on the bridge beyond that.
This was originally hand-tinted when issued, but decided not to do that in later printings.
