EDITORS COMMENTS
This Edwardian British postcard from circa 1908 is a satirical take on Freemasonry, a fraternal organization with origins dating back to the local fraternities of stonemasons in the fourteenth century. The image captures the essence of secrecy and exclusivity associated with Freemasonry, as depicted by the group of men dressed in traditional Masonic regalia, complete with aprons and sashes.
The postcard humorously pokes fun at the rituals and symbols commonly associated with Freemasonry, highlighting the mysterious nature of the organization. The intricate details in the illustration showcase a keen eye for satire, emphasizing exaggerated gestures and expressions that add to the overall comedic effect.
During this time period, satire was a popular form of social commentary, often used to critique societal norms and traditions. In this case, the artist cleverly uses humor to shed light on some of the perceived eccentricities of Freemasonry.
As we look back on this historical artifact today, we are reminded of how art has always been a powerful tool for reflection and interpretation. This print serves as a fascinating glimpse into Edwardian society's views on secret societies like Freemasonry, offering us valuable insight into cultural attitudes from over a century ago.
