EDITORS COMMENTS
Granpop's Jolly Jamboree: A Hilarious Gathering of the 'Anthropomorphic' Freemasons! Step right up, folks, and feast your eyes on this delightful and humorous illustration by the renowned British artist, Lawson Wood, featuring his beloved orang-utan character, Granpop, presiding over a most unusual Lodge of Instruction in the year 1934. In this whimsical scene, Granpop dons his Masonic apron, complete with the symbolic square and compasses, while his monkey and pig companions eagerly take their places in this makeshift Lodge. The trio appears to be in the midst of a serious discussion, their faces displaying a mix of concentration and amusement. The veil of secrecy that shrouds the Freemasons' rituals and insignia has never been more playfully poked fun at than in this illustration. Wood's anthropomorphic touch adds an extra layer of humor, as the animals don their aprons and engage in what can only be assumed to be a lively discourse. The orang-utan, Granpop, has long been a beloved character in Wood's work, and his inclusion in this scene adds a touch of the exotic and the unexpected. This humorous take on Freemasonry, with its anthropomorphic twists, is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most serious of Masonic scholars. So, gather 'round, friends, and let us raise a toast to Granpop and his jolly companions, who remind us that even the most venerable organizations can be the source of great humor and delight!
