Agnes Miller Parker (1895 − 1980)
Highlights
Agnes Miller Parker was born in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland; she studied at Glasgow School of Art. She was one of the four engravers who worked at the Gregynog Press in the early 1930s: her husband William McChance, Gertrude Hermes and Blair Hughes-Stanton were the others. She was essentially a book illustrator, and the list of her illustrated books ranges from works for the Gregynog Press to the Limited Editions Club of New York. Her wood engravings are distinctive with careful and delicate cross-hatching and stippling.
