EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Auspicious Beginning" we are transported back to the year 1784, witnessing a significant moment in history. The image showcases the figure of Truth, surrounded by her faithful attendants - Faith, Hope, and Charity. Together, they stand as symbols of enlightenment and virtue. The scene takes place within Thomas Sandbys' newly constructed Freemasons Hall in London. This magnificent building serves as the headquarters for the United Grand Lodge of England. Its grandeur is evident through its stunning architecture and meticulous craftsmanship. As we delve deeper into the photograph's details, we notice an intriguing tableau on a nearby table. An angelic figurine overlooks various objects that hint at movements and associations related to different religious sects such as Christianity and Freemasonry. This thought-provoking composition invites contemplation about religion, worship, occult practices, supernatural beliefs intertwined with architectural marvels. It sparks curiosity about the role of secret societies like Freemasons in shaping society during that era. Captured beautifully in black and white tones with a vertical orientation, this print from Hulton Archive allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how art can encapsulate moments frozen in time while offering glimpses into our past heritage.
