EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Initiation of a Knight Kadosch" takes us into the mysterious world of Freemasonry in 19th century France. The artwork, part of a private collection, was created as an illustration for Leo Taxil's book "Les Mysteres de la Franc-Maconnerie Devoiles" (The Mysteries of Freemasonry Revealed). In this scene, we witness the initiation ceremony of a Knight Kadosch, one of the highest ranks within the Scottish Rite branch of Freemasonry. A group of men dressed in ceremonial attire gather around an altar adorned with symbols and tools associated with their craft. The image evokes both intrigue and cruelty as it depicts a ritual involving a knife and an animal - specifically, a sheep. This symbolism suggests that sacrifice may be part of the initiation process or represents some deeper meaning within Freemasonry. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere filled with tension and mystery. The faces are serious and focused, reflecting their dedication to this ancient order. Through intricate details and careful shading techniques, French School brings this secretive world to life on paper. "Initiation of a Knight Kadosch" is not only an artistic masterpiece but also provides us with insight into the rituals and traditions upheld by freemasons during that time period. It serves as a reminder that there are still many secrets waiting to be unveiled within this enigmatic society.
