This engraving by Edward Scriven, dating from 1804 to 1841, is a portrait of Thomas Miller, a bookseller from Bungay, Suffolk. The image depicts Miller in a three-quarter view, set within an oval frame. The engraving captures Miller’s likeness with fine detail, emphasizing his powdered wig and serious expression, suggesting a man of intellect and refinement. Scriven's engraving, likely based on a miniature, offers a glimpse into the life of this local bookseller during the early 19th century.
