This is the center of the old mill town of Harrisville, New Hampshire, now restored and protected on the National Register of Historic Places. It has one of the most picturesque main streets in all of New England. The engraving was commissioned by Harrisville Designs, a loom manufacturer housed in the upper brick mill shown at the left center of the print. The engraved woodblock is 7" x 4.34".

Upper Mill, Harrisville, New Hampshire

When you purchase Upper Mill, Harrisville 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.
