Title:	Old Mill at Valley Stream, Queens, New York
Artist:	Miller, Charles Henry (New York City, 1842 - 1922)
Date:	1878
Medium:	Original Etching and Drypoint
Note:	Charles Henry Miller: A nineteenth century landscape painter and etcher, Charles Henry Miller began exhibiting his art at the prestigious National Academy of Design at the age of eighteen. During this period he also studied medicine and graduated with a full medical degree in 1864. He then traveled through the art museums of Europe and resolved to be an artist, studying formally under Adolf Lier at the Bavarian Royal Academy in Munich from 1867 to 1870. Upon his return to the United States, Miller concentrated upon the landscape of then rural areas surrounding New York, such as Queens. His paintings and etchings earned him election to the National Academy as an Associate in 1873 and as an Academician in 1876.
	Charles Miller received his first lessons in the art of etching from Alfred Cadart in 1866 but did not start to produce a considerable number of etchings until 1876. Old Mill at Valley Stream, Queens, New York is indicative of Miller's fine art. Most of his graphic works of art (including this example) are notable for combining etching with drypoint in a free-style manner which in some aspects are comparable to the French Barbizon etchers, such as, Daubigny and Corot. Miller's etchings are today included many public collections throughout the United States.
