EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Freemasons and patriotism" captures a significant moment in history during the 19th century. The scene depicts the Trollet Conference, where Alsatian freemasons are being forcefully ejected from a meeting of the Globe lodge in Vincennes. Their objection to a vote favoring Alsace and Lorraine remaining under German control has deemed them unpatriotic by their fellow masons. The artist, belonging to the French School, skillfully portrays this tense encounter with intricate details and symbolism. The men's expressions reveal their conflicting emotions as they engage in this heated debate within the secretive world of Freemasonry. This illustration was featured in Leo Taxil's book "Les Mysteres de la Franc-Maconnerie Devoiles" (The Mysteries of Freemasonry Revealed), published around 1885. Through this image, we gain insight into the complex relationship between politics, nationalism, and secret societies during that era. It sheds light on how Freemasonry played a role not only as an organization for enlightenment but also as a platform for political discussions and actions. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of an important event that shaped European history. Its inclusion in private collections showcases its significance among art enthusiasts who appreciate its cultural value beyond its aesthetic appeal.
