William Miller
​(1796-1882)

William Miller engraving after J M W Turner Combe Martin
William Miller (1796-1882)
 
Miller was born in Edinburgh from where his father sent him to London to learn engraving from George Cooke in 1819.
According to Bryan’s Dictionary, ‘The great bulk of his work is after [J M W] Turner. [John] Ruskin speaks of him as the best of Turner’s engravers. In the last half of his life, he travelled a good deal, and also practised painting in water-colour.’
Miller was elected an honorary member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1862.
