Andrew Miller

Andrew Miller ( 1717 - September 1763) was an English mezzotint engraver.

Life Miller was reputedly born in London, from a Scottish background. He was a pupil of John Faber the younger, and the earliest date on his own plates is 1737.

After working for some years in London, Miller went to Dublin and settled there. Miller's Dublin plates, which are dated from 1743 to 1756, were mostly published by himself "on Hog Hill, near the Round Church", and some bear also the address of Michael Ford. and George Whitefield, after M. Jenkin.

An engraving of Charles Lucas, after William Jones, saw Miller in political trouble. Lucas was an opposition figure, and Miller also supported him in print, in the newsletter of James Esdall. In late 1649 the government reacted, and Miller spent some time in Newgate Prison. Some of Miller's portraits are copies of prints by Jacobus Houbraken, George Vertue, and others: he was known for plagiarism. He also produced some subjects after Jacques Courtin, Rosalba Carriera, Paolo Veronese and others.
