William Miller (engraver)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Miller was a line engraver from Edinburgh, Scotland.

Miller was initially apprenticed to William Archibald. In 1810 he moved to Hackney to join the workshop of George Cooke. Other apprentices with Cooke included William Shotter Boys.

Miller was one of the principal engravers of J. M. W. Turner. His last engraved work was a series of vignettes after Myles Birket Foster to illustrate two volumes of the poems of Thomas Hood, published by Moxon in 1871 and 1872.
