EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Samuel Liddell Mathers, a prominent figure in the late 19th century. Taken in 1889 by an English photographer, this portrait showcases Mathers before he added MacGregor to his name. The image is part of a private collection and is now out of copyright. Mathers was known for his involvement with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a mystical organization founded around the time this photograph was taken. This portrait offers a glimpse into Mathers' persona as he assumes leadership within this enigmatic sect. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue that perfectly embodies the fin de siècle era. With his intense gaze and commanding presence, Mathers appears as a man deeply immersed in esoteric knowledge and spiritual practices. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back to a time when secret societies like Rosicrucianism held great fascination for many individuals seeking hidden truths beyond conventional understanding. This image serves as a testament to Mathers' role as both leader and practitioner within these realms. Through the lens of early photography, we witness not only an individual but also an embodiment of an entire movement that captivated minds during that period. It stands as a reminder of our enduring fascination with mysticism, spirituality, and the pursuit of enlightenment even today.
