Edmund Gustave Müller 1816-1888 was the younger brother of William James Müller, one of Bristol’s best known artists who died aged only 33, in 1845.

In 1821 Edmund`s father published A Natural History of the Crinoidia or Lily-Shaped Animals and three years later he became the first curator of the Bristol Institution which later became the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery.

The third and final offspring, born in 1816, was Edmund Gustavus who at first was trained to become a doctor but he, like William, became a well-known painter.
