Agnes Miller Parker was born in Irvine, Ayrshire and studied at The Glasgow School of Art. She later taught at the School before marrying fellow student William McCance. The couple moved to London in 1920. Parker’s work of the 1920s is influenced by the Cubist and Vorticist movements. In the early 1930s she became well-known for her distinctive woodcut illustrations produced for the Gregynog Press in Wales. Her illustrations for Aesop’s Fables were particularly celebrated, as were her sets of engravings for several Thomas Hardy novels made in the 1950s.

The main body of her work consists of wood-engravings for book illustrations that demonstrate fine draughtsmanship and skilful use of black and white design. She illustrated The Fables of Aesop (1931), Through the Woods by H. E. Bates (1936), The Open Air by Richard Jefferies (edited by Samuel J. Looker, 1949) and her most acclaimed work, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray (1938), titles for the Limited Editions Club of New York and editions of the works of Shakespeare and Thomas Hardy.
