EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph from 1875, we see Prince Edward, later known as Edward VII, being installed as the Grand Master of the Freemasons of England. The Prince, dressed in the regalia of the Grand Master, stands in the center of the room surrounded by other Freemasons, including the famous satirical character, Brother Punch, who is depicted in the lower left corner of the image. At the time, the Freemasons were a popular social and philanthropic organization, known for their charitable works and commitment to moral values. Prince Edward's installation as Grand Master was a significant event, as it marked his formal acceptance of the role and the responsibilities that came with it. Brother Punch, a well-known figure in Victorian England, was a symbol of social commentary and satire. In this context, he is shown expressing his hope that the new Grand Master would use his position to address the housing needs of the poor. This reflects the broader concerns of the time, as the issue of poverty and inadequate housing was a pressing social problem in Victorian England. The image was drawn by John Tenniel, a renowned English illustrator, and published in Punch Magazine, a popular satirical publication of the era. Tenniel's detailed and humorous illustration captures the spirit of the occasion and the hopes of the Freemasons and the public for positive change. Overall, this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural context of Victorian England, as well as the role of the Freemasons and their Grand Master in addressing the needs of the community.
