"Story Hour" 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.

"Story Hour" 
etching, second state
 actual size 1.5" x 1.0"

This is a small piece I did for Reminiscence in 1981. It shows Mother Goose reading a book to children. The characters come from a larger piece that I did previously called "The Magical Mother Goose." I will be posting much better pictures later.

 

 

    

"Story Hour" enlarged
(Second State)

enlargement of book
Title on book says
"Story Time by M. Goose."
"Story Hour"- Enlargement

This is the second state of the etching. It sold out and I made the second state with thousands of tiny little lines in the background. I will show both the first state and a better enlargement of the second state later. These are old scans, but give you an idea of the detail.
