EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Arms of the Sculptors or Marblers of the Gateshead Chapter, 1671". Taken from a volume titled "The History of Freemasonry" published in London in 1883, this colorful lithograph offers a glimpse into the world of secret societies and trade emblems during the seventeenth century. The coat of arms depicted here is rich with symbolism. At its center lies a mallet, representing the tools used by stonemasons and sculptors. Surrounding it are intricate foliate designs, symbolizing growth and craftsmanship. A knight's helmet sits atop these elements, signifying honor and chivalry. This image provides an intriguing insight into the secretive world of Freemasonry during this period. The Freemasons were known for their dedication to ancient traditions and rituals, as well as their commitment to brotherhood and mutual support within their craft. Captured through an engraving technique by an anonymous English artist from the nineteenth century, this print transports us back to a time when such symbols held great significance within certain circles. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and marvel at the artistry behind these historical artifacts. Displayed here is just one example of how art can preserve history and shed light on long-forgotten practices. This particular piece not only showcases skilled craftsmanship but also invites us to delve deeper into understanding the enigmatic world of Freemasonry in seventeenth-century England.
