draughtsman, engraver and die-sinker, was transported to Western Australia in the Clara , arriving on 13 April 1864. After he had set up as an engraver and diesinker in Murray Street, Perth, his wife and daughter, both called Hannah, joined him in the colony. He moved his business to St George’s Terrace in 1870. Müller’s name was spelt variously throughout his career but presumably the German version was correct. When his lithograph Fremantle from the North (1860s?) was issued by Borrow, the artist was given as William 'Miller’ (ML, AGWA), while two lithographs showing the discovery and blessing in 1865 of the remains of the Western Australian explorers Panter, Harding and Goldwyre (killed by Aborigines on the Roebuck Bay Pastoral Company’s expedition) are signed 'W. Millor’. He appeared in the W.A. Almanac and Directory for 1872 as 'W. Miller’, at other times as 'Muller’ or 'Mueller’. As well as doing commercial work Müller engraved for the Inquirer newspaper. He died at Perth on 14 November 1885.
