EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Seal of the United Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England, dating back to 1817. The intricate design, captured by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, is a true testament to the rich history and symbolism of Freemasonry. The seal represents a significant moment in time when the two Grand Lodges of Ancients and Moderns were united in 1813. Its central motif features winged composite creatures that symbolize the four tribes of Israel, adding a layer of biblical significance to this emblematic artwork. A majestic lion rampant stands proudly at the forefront, embodying strength and courage - qualities highly revered within Freemasonry. Surrounding it are various elements such as compasses, castles, towers, and stonemasons tools that allude to the craft itself. The Latin phrase "audi vide tace" (hear see be silent) serves as a powerful motto for this secret society. It reminds members to listen attentively, observe keenly but remain discreet about their knowledge and experiences within Freemasonry. This remarkable print not only captures an exquisite piece of masonic artistry but also offers viewers a glimpse into centuries-old traditions upheld by dedicated individuals seeking enlightenment through brotherhood and self-improvement.
