EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mezzotint engraving of Anthony Sayer, the esteemed first Grand Master of the Freemasons. Created by Joseph Highmore and engraved by John Faber Jr, this portrait exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Sayer's dignified presence is beautifully captured, as he gazes into the distance with a sense of wisdom and authority. Dressed in traditional 18th-century attire, Sayer dons a meticulously styled wig that adds to his distinguished appearance. The oval frame surrounding him further emphasizes his importance within the secret society of Freemasonry. This artwork offers a rare glimpse into the world of freemasonry during its early days in England. The skillful technique used in this mezzotint engraving brings out intricate details, such as the delicate lines etched on Sayer's face and hands. Every stroke seems to tell a story about his role as a member of this enigmatic organization. Displayed against a dark background, this print creates an atmosphere that invites contemplation and curiosity. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of one man's significant contribution to Freemasonry. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but can be appreciated by all who seek to unravel the mysteries behind secret societies or simply admire fine artistry from centuries past.
