EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a full-length portrait of George Washington, dressed in the regalia of Freemasonry. The image captures Washington's stern yet resolute expression as he stands facing slightly to the right, holding a scroll in one hand and a trowel, the symbolic tools of a Freemason, in the other. The backdrop of the print features head-and-shoulders portraits of two esteemed Freemasons, Marquis de Lafayette and Andrew Jackson. Freemasonry, a fraternal organization with roots dating back to the late 16th century, has long been a subject of intrigue and speculation regarding its influence on historical figures. Washington's membership in the organization has been a topic of debate among scholars, with many believing that he joined during his time in Virginia. The Masonic symbols and regalia in this print add an intriguing layer to the historical narrative of Washington's life. The print also includes several biblical scenes, which may represent the moral and ethical principles that Freemasons strive to uphold. These scenes serve as a reminder of the spiritual and moral foundation of the organization, which emphasizes brotherly love, charity, and truth. This print, created around 1866, offers a unique perspective on the historical figure of George Washington and sheds light on his involvement in Freemasonry. It is a fascinating piece that invites further exploration into the history and symbolism of this influential fraternal organization.
