EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of Samuel Liddell Mathers (1854-1918), a prominent figure in the world of Freemasonry and the founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This photograph, taken in 1889, captures Mathers in his prime, with a serious and introspective expression that seems to reflect the depth of his knowledge and the weight of his responsibilities. Mathers was a Scottish writer, occultist, and Freemason, who played a significant role in the revival of interest in esoteric and mystical traditions in late 19th-century Britain. He was initiated into Freemasonry in 1877 and soon became involved in the Theosophical Society, where he met Alister Crowley, with whom he would later form the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn was a magical order that combined elements of Freemasonry, Kabbalah, and other esoteric traditions. Mathers served as the order's outer head from 1891 to 1897, during which time he oversaw its expansion and development. He was known for his extensive knowledge of the occult and his ability to translate and interpret ancient texts. This photograph is a lithographic print, which was a popular method of image reproduction during the late 19th century. The use of this technique allowed for high-quality, detailed images to be produced in large quantities, making them accessible to a wider audience. Despite the anonymity of the creator of this photograph, it is a valuable document of the history of Freemasonry and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Mathers' influence on these organizations and the wider world of esoteric thought continues to be felt today, making this image a fascinating glimpse into the past. This photograph is part of a private collection and is not currently available for commercial use. It is a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of the Freemasons and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
