Andrew Miller (engraver)
Andrew Miller (died 1763) was an English mezzotint engraver.
==Life==
Miller was reputedly born 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.〔 He was invited to do so by John Brooks and they initially worked together, trying to break a London monopoly on mezzotint engraving. Together they had a strong group of pupils—James McArdell, Richard Houston, Richard Purcell, and Charles Spooner—and the main burden of training them may have been Miller's. In 1746 the "Dublin group" broke up, with Brooks returning to England in company with McArdell and Houston. 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.〔
Miller is said to have shortened his life by drinking. He died in Dublin in September 1763.〔
