Gustav William Henry Mullins (1854-1921) was a portrait photographer, patronised by Queen Victoria. Gustav Mullins was a partner in the firm Hughes & Mullins, photographers, based at Union Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight. His firm held the Royal Warrant and photographed members of the British royal family and their guests at Osborne House, Queen Victoria’s holiday home on the island. Gustav Mullins was born in St Helier, Jersey, in 1854. His father, Henry, was a local photographic agent. In the 1880s, Gustav moved to the Isle of Wight, becoming first apprentice and then partner to Jabez Hughes at his studio at 60 Union Street, Ryde, where they traded as ‘Hughes and Mullins’. Mullins continued the business after Hughes’ death in 1884. In 1885, he was granted a Royal Warrant when the firm was named "Photographers to Her Majesty at Ryde". In this role, Mullins captured some of the most famous images of Queen Victoria, including formal portraits taken on the day of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations on 22 June 1897.〔http://pinterest.com/search/?q=gustav+mullins〕 He also photographed members of the royal family including Princess Beatrice on her wedding day 〔NPG http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw145863/Prince-and-Princess-Henry-of-Battenberg-with-their-bridesmaids-and-others-on-their-wedding-day?LinkID=mp89748&search=sas&sText=mullins&role=art&rNo=2〕 and the young Princess Patricia of Connaught.〔Princess Patricia of Connaught https://secure.flickr.com/photos/gabry10/5070746531/〕 In 1883, Gustav married Fanny Hulse from Malling in Kent; they lived in Ryde with their daughter Dora.
