"Unveiling the Mysteries: Exploring the World of Franc Maçon" Step into the intriguing world of Franc Maçon, where history and symbolism intertwine. In Washington as a Master Mason, pub. 1870 (colour lithograph), we witness the esteemed George Washington embracing his role as a Master Mason, showcasing the deep connection between Freemasonry and influential figures. Delving further into this secretive society, we uncover an early 19th-century Masonic Initiation ceremony depicted in watercolor on paper. The rituals and traditions come to life before our eyes, revealing the profound significance attached to becoming a male Freemason. Illustrations of Masonic regalia and dress of the Knight Kadosh, 30th Degree captivate us with their intricate designs and rich symbolism. These garments hold immense importance within Freemasonry's hierarchy, representing honor and dedication. Traveling back in time to 1787 through a colored engraving titled A Fencing Duel at Carlton House in the presence of Prince Regent between Chevalier d'Eon dressed as a woman and Monsieur de Saint-Georges takes us by surprise. This unusual encounter hints at hidden layers within Franc Maçon that transcend societal norms. Charity Fete at the Masonic Lodge of Persevering Friendship showcases how philanthropy is deeply ingrained within this enigmatic brotherhood. Their commitment to helping others extends beyond their secretive meetings. The enigmatic figure known as Chevalier d'Eon resurfaces once more but now adorned with freemasonic attributes while dressed as a woman—an intriguing juxtaposition that invites speculation about gender roles within Franc Maçon. Prince Lucien Murat assumes his role as Grand Master of Grand Orient de France—a testament to how influential individuals have embraced this ancient fraternity throughout history—highlighting its enduring relevance even today. Masonic Insignia of Abd el-Kader mesmerizes us with its exquisite enamel, metal, and silk craftsmanship.
