EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Seal of the Masons of Strasbourg, dating back to 1524. Taken from "The History of Freemasonry" volume II, published in London in 1883, this lithograph captures the essence of a secret society steeped in tradition and mystery. The seal itself is a testament to the craftsmanship and skill possessed by these ancient stonemasons. The finely detailed design features a depiction of Madonna and Child at its center, surrounded by various stonemason's tools. Each tool symbolizes the trade and expertise that these masons held dear. The significance of this seal extends beyond its artistic beauty. It represents an entire community bound together by their shared knowledge and secrets. The Masons were known for their dedication to preserving ancient wisdom while also advancing architectural techniques during the Renaissance period. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to sixteenth-century Alsace, Germany - a time when skilled craftsmen like those depicted on this seal played vital roles in shaping society through their remarkable works. Now preserved within a private collection, this historic artifact serves as a reminder of our collective human desire for connection, enlightenment, and preservation of knowledge throughout generations. It stands as an enduring symbol not only for freemasonry but also for all tradesmen who have left indelible marks on history with their hands and hearts.
