John Anthony Miller Copper Plate Etching of the "Osborne House"

No, it isn't Ozzy's house. LOL I had to look it up. The beauty of John Anthony Miller‟s etchings cannot be overstated. His impeccable, miniscule lines – finer than a human hair – and breathtakingly delicate layers of scenery give his images a depth that can only truly be appreciated upon intimate inspection. They are produced entirely by hand, with no photo enlargement processes, using traditional intaglio methods. It begins with a small piece of 16 gauge copperplate. 1. “The plate is coated with wax „grounds‟ and John draws upon his wax with various dental tools. When the drawing is complete, he dips the plate into an acid bath until it etches the appropriate grooves in the copper.” 2. The plate can then be inked and sent to press, creating limited edition runs with each print as beautiful as the first. Miller then numbers, titles and signs each print by hand, producing exquisite and highly collectible pieces of art. Some of his works are displayed in various museums. This piece has been displayed, but it is still wonderful. Truly a collector's dream piece, a museum piece! 1:12 Scale Numbered Signed I always enjoy being able to give my buyers more information about the pieces I sell. Please see last 6 photos for reference only. Stay on the look out for more of his works as I post them today. Will be cross posted for quick and fair sale. As always, thanks for Poshing with me!!
