EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous postcard from 1905 satirizes British Freemasonry with a clever and cheeky illustration. The image features a young goat wearing a masonic apron, symbolizing the secretive and exclusive nature of the organization. The goat, often associated with sacrifice and ritual in occult practices, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene.
The artist's use of satire and humor in this postcard reflects the skepticism and curiosity surrounding Freemasonry during the Edwardian era. By poking fun at the symbols and rituals of the masonic order, the card invites viewers to question the true meaning behind these traditions.
In addition to its comedic elements, this postcard also serves as a commentary on social hierarchy and power dynamics within British society. The inclusion of farm animals like goats further emphasizes themes of secrecy and elitism among freemasons.
Overall, this print is not only visually striking but also thought-provoking in its portrayal of British Freemasonry. It challenges viewers to consider what lies beneath the surface of this enigmatic organization while providing a lighthearted take on its traditions and symbols.
