This little engraving shows Warren Brook in East Alstead, N.H., on a February day. Just to the left, out of view, is the dam that was built in the 1760s to create what is now known as Lake Warren. The dam that is shown was built by Heman Chase many years ago, to create a pool for horses to drink from. This print was used on the cover of the 1976 town report. The woodblock measures 2.5” x 2.88”.

Brook in Winter
When you purchase Brook in Winter by Randy Miller, you are acquiring an original work of art, engraved by hand in wood and printed by the artist. It is not a photographic or digital reproduction.
A note about Editions: The prints are not strictly limited in number. This is due to the durability of boxwood, my choice of wood for engraving. It is an extremely dense hardwood capable of yielding thousands of prints with no noticeable deterioration. I therefore number my prints in Editions of 200, succeeding editions denoted by a Roman numeral “II”, “III” and so on. This allows for continued functional use of an increasingly scarce wood.
The artist uses black, oil-based ink on smooth, Welsh cream-colored paper called basingwerk. The print is signed, titled and numbered in pencil by the artist and enclosed in a clear plastic sleeve. The print is suitable for matting and framing. Shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
