EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a facsimile of the earliest known certificate issued under the Seal of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, dating back to 1762. Created by an anonymous Irish artist from the 18th century, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into the world of Freemasonry during that era. The intricate details captured in this image are truly awe-inspiring. The delicate handwriting and carefully crafted text on the certificate reveal its significance as an official document within the Masonic community. The signature and engraving add an extra layer of authenticity and craftsmanship to this fascinating artifact. As we delve into this visual representation, we can't help but wonder about all those who were part of this ancient fraternity. Who were these Freemasons? What secrets did they hold? This photograph invites us to ponder upon their rituals, beliefs, and contributions to society. Preserved in a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, it is evident that this rare find holds great value for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its historical importance cannot be overstated as it sheds light on one aspect of Irish culture during a pivotal period in history. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a beautifully preserved piece but also gaining insight into centuries-old traditions that continue to intrigue us today.
