"The Flight Into Egypt"
 etching with aquatint

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 proof is from my own collection. There were 20 artist's proofs in this edition. At the time I received complaints of "Why so many?" There were about 15 sales reps that Reminiscence In Miniature had at the time, and each got one to show stores what was new for that 1980 Christmas Season. One of two Christmas etchings I did that season, the other being
"God Bless Tiny Tim"
