Additional Information
This emblematic chart of Free and Accepted Masons, abbreviated under the main banner as F. and A. M., was created in 1877 and remains an enduring tribute to the largest secular fraternity in the world. It bears an ornate style and distinctive aesthetic that continues to symbolize the values, traditions, and culture of the Freemasons. Traditionally, membership required an invitation from an existing member, though that invitation had to be accepted of the recruit's "own free will and accord." In more recent years, some Masonic Lodges have relaxed this requirement, allowing interested individuals to express their desire to join through public events or online resources.
Freemason imagery draws from the tools of operative stone masonry, including squares and compasses, level and plumb rulers, trowels, and ashlars, both rough and smooth. These tools serve as symbols of moral and philosophical lessons, although interpretations may vary by Lodge. The earliest Masonic gatherings in the United States took place in Pennsylvania, often in taverns and public houses that would become significant meeting points for the Founding Fathers as they developed the ideas that led to the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution.
This print features a collection of traditional Masonic symbols and offers a visual journey into the past, creating a timeless link between history and the present. Freemasonry remains a living tradition, practiced today in Lodges around the world with roots in both European and American heritage.
