John Douglas Miller (1860 in Hadley, near London – 1903) was a British printmaker. Most of his works are mezzotint translations of paintings by artists such as Joshua Reynolds, Luke Fildes, Frank Dicksee, George Richmond, William Blake Richmond, and Frederic Leighton.[1] Biographical details regarding Miller are scant, but he is considered a "fine mezzotinter" in a period when demand for such skills was rapidly declining due to the rise of photomechanical techniques such as photogravure.[2]
