EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we see Frederick Max Muller, a renowned Professor of Comparative Philology at Oxford University in 1878. The photograph was taken by Lock & Whitfield as part of their collection titled "Men of Mark: a gallery of contemporary portraits". Frederick Max Muller's intellectual contributions were vast and groundbreaking. He is best known for his preparation of the first edition of the Sacred Hymns of the Brahmans, specifically the Sanskrit Rig-Veda between 1849 and 1974. Throughout his illustrious career spanning over two decades at Oxford University, he played a pivotal role in promoting the comparative study of Indo-European languages, mythology, and religion. This monochrome image captures Muller's profile with remarkable clarity. His intense gaze reflects both wisdom and determination, embodying his dedication to academic pursuits. As a German-born scholar who made significant contributions to literature and philology, Muller's influence extended far beyond national borders. Lock & Whitfield skillfully captured not only Muller's physical appearance but also his scholarly essence through this striking portrait. The attention to detail is evident in every line on his face and every strand of hair meticulously preserved in this print. As we admire this historical artifact from the 19th century, we are reminded that Frederick Max Muller was an exceptional individual whose work continues to shape our understanding of language, culture, and human history today.
