EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Freemasonry - a Masonic baptism taking place in the Lodge of Fraternal Friendship, Grand Orient de France, Paris. The year is 1861, and artist Charles Yriarte has beautifully engraved this scene for all to behold. Intriguingly mysterious yet deeply symbolic, this engraving showcases the solemnity and reverence with which Freemasons approach their rituals. The congregation gathers around as a baby is being baptized into the fraternity, surrounded by members dressed in their traditional regalia. This act represents not only an initiation into the Masonic brotherhood but also signifies unity and spiritual growth within their community. The French influence on Freemasonry is evident here, with references to "franc maçons" and "franc-maçonnerie". It serves as a reminder that Freemasonry transcends national boundaries and brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds under one common purpose: seeking knowledge, fostering brotherhood, and striving for personal development. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance placed on family values within Freemasonry. The presence of loved ones witnessing this sacred ceremony emphasizes how these bonds extend beyond blood relations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from Le Monde Illustré magazine's collection at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Through its intricate details and rich symbolism, it offers us a glimpse into the world of Freemasonry during
