EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1747, where an intriguing chapter of history unfolds. Illustrated in exquisite detail by Leo Taxil, it depicts a significant moment when Charles-Edward Stuart, known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, established a Chapter of the Rose Cross in Arras. In this solemn scene, we see a group of Companions engrossed in deep contemplation. Their faces illuminated by candlelight as they gather around a table adorned with symbolic objects. The room exudes an air of mystery and secrecy, with Masonic symbols scattered throughout - from swords and hammers to globes and triangles. The ambiance is both somber and awe-inspiring; one can almost feel the weight of their shared purpose hanging in the air. As these men engage in their ceremonial rituals, they become part of a secret society that spans generations. The image captures not only the physical setting but also the intangible spirit that binds them together. It speaks volumes about loyalty, brotherhood, and dedication to ancient traditions. Through this engraving by Pierre Mejanel preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, we catch a glimpse into the hidden world of Freemasonry during this pivotal period. Let this remarkable artwork transport you back to an era shrouded in intrigue and fascination – where secrets were whispered behind closed doors and alliances formed under flickering candlelight.
