Diana-The Royal Wedding- John Anthony Miller

A miniature etching, framed depicting The Royal Wedding of Diana and Charles.

The Royal Wedding, a miniature original copperplate etching and aquatint by John Anthony Miller


A small etching which was printed using the etching press (a time-honored hundreds of years old process) used by many of the old masters.
It was hand-printed off the copper plate some time ago and was a limited edition, printed in sepia ink. This is from my collection.
There was no photographic reduction here, the piece was etched on copperplate as you see it
and then hand-printed and signed, titled and states Artist's Proof as shown.  These miniature works of art
were marketed by the finest maker of miniature furniture and accessories in the world. Miller mainly did his miniature work in the late 70's to the mid-80's.

His work is prized and he done commissions for The Chicago Art Institute (7 replications of miniature work found in the Thorne Rooms collection, and a piece for The Chicago Science and Industry Museum (The Colleen Moore Doll House). His work is also held by celebrities and is in thousands of doll houses.

Here are the dimensions" Overall the frame dimensions are: approximately 4" x 5". The artwork image measures 1-1/2" x 2" -
It is signed in pencil along the lower edged of the image by the artist: Artist's proof  "The Royal Wedding"  John Anthony Miller, Imp.

I did this little etching years ago in the eighties in honor of the wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles.
There is some aquatint in the background. The etching was done on a copper plate measuring 1-1/2" x 2"

I am showing a greatly enlarged photo of "The Royal Wedding"  so you can get and idea of the fine detail. Also the reverse side of the framed piece.
Keep in mind that I was taking  a photo through raised glass.  The third photo shows the reverse of the piece.

NOTE: We are going to list EIGHT miniature pieces, framed in a similar manner but with different frames of John's work, so keep us book marked.
