"Spring Maypole" 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.

"Spring Maypole" 
engraving
 1.5" x 1.0" 
(actual size)

This is a small piece I did for Miniature Collector magazine  in 1982.  I decided to make the next engraving, after the complex "Winter Fantasy" just the opposite-simple. Again the advertisement for this piece was good and extensive, but it never sold well. Summer and Fall pieces never happened. It was also the start of the decline of the lucrative miniature collector market. At least I was in the middle of it at one time. I will post the Magazine and the ads for both these pieces later.
