EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Initiation to the degree of fellow" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the secretive world of Freemasonry. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration in Leo Taxil's book, "Les Mysteres de la Franc-Maconnerie Devoiles" (The Mysteries of Freemasonry Revealed). In this scene, we witness a solemn ritual taking place within the walls of a Masonic lodge. A group of men dressed in ceremonial attire stand before an intricately decorated altar adorned with symbols representing their ancient order. The central figure holds a sword high above his head while pointing towards a globe, symbolizing their global influence. The composition exudes mystery and symbolism as stars twinkle overhead and enigmatic objects fill every corner. The artist skillfully captures the aura surrounding Freemasonry, highlighting its allure and fascination for those seeking enlightenment through secret rituals and esoteric knowledge. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are transported back in time to witness one moment in the rich history of French Freemasonry. It serves as a reminder that there are still hidden realms waiting to be explored within our own society – realms where tradition meets secrecy and symbolism intertwines with brotherhood.
