EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Lady Freemason giving a sign, 1805" showcases a rare glimpse into the world of female freemasonry during the 19th century. The image, beautifully colored by French School artists, captures the essence of this secret society and its inclusion of women. In this intriguing scene, we witness a Lady Freemason confidently giving a sign - an enigmatic gesture known only to those initiated in their ancient rituals. Clad in her symbolic apron and surrounded by masonic regalia, she stands as a testament to the strength and determination of women within this traditionally male-dominated realm. This artwork originates from Bibliotheque de l'Institut de France in Paris and was created for a collection on women and freemasonry. It offers us invaluable insight into the often overlooked history of female companionship within the secretive world of freemasons. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded that throughout history, women have played significant roles in various spheres despite societal limitations. This photograph serves as both an homage to these pioneering individuals and an invitation to explore further into their stories.
