"Sleeping Beauty" engraving

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 is a small engraving that I did that was inspired by the fairy tale of the Sleeping Beauty. The lettering was done backwards, so it could print out correctly. No mistakes are allowed. One slip of the tool and the plate is ruined. Notice the little roses I made to balance out the edges. These were etched in using a Dutch Mordant etching solution, the plate being suspended upside down in the acid. Below are enlargements. This was done in 1983. This is one my favorites. It never has sold well, for some reason.
