EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Masonic symbols and their meanings" offers a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of Freemasonry. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this print showcases various Masonic symbols accompanied by their profound significance. Displayed prominently are essential tools used within Masonic rituals, such as the gavel and chisel, representing discipline and craftsmanship respectively. The 24-inch gauge symbolizes time management while the square and compass embody morality and virtue. The level signifies equality among brethren, while the plumb represents integrity. The artwork also features two significant architectural elements: the rough ashlar (representing an individual's imperfect nature) and perfect ashlar (symbolizing personal growth through moral development). These pillars stand tall in a symbolic lodge adorned with a mosaic pavement - reminding Freemasons to tread carefully on life's path. A prominent jewel is displayed at the center of this intricate composition, signifying membership in Royal Arch Masonry – one of Freemasonry's highest degrees. This jewel serves as a reminder of honor bestowed upon those who have attained great knowledge within this ancient fraternity. Originally created for The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia around 1922, this lithograph provides viewers with valuable insight into Masonic symbolism that has fascinated scholars for centuries. With its meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy, it serves as both an educational tool for enthusiasts seeking deeper understanding of Freemasonry and a visually stunning piece for art lovers alike.
