EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of New York City - the laying of the cornerstone for the new Masonic Temple. Taken in 1870, this wood engraving showcases a group of distinguished men dressed in their finest attire, gathered around the construction site. The image exudes an air of importance and solemnity. The scene depicts a bustling exterior with workers using pulleys to hoist heavy materials, emphasizing the magnitude of this architectural endeavor. The men are seen wearing top hats, symbolizing their status and influence within society. Among them are Freemasons, who played a crucial role in shaping New York's cultural landscape during that era. The late 19th century was marked by rapid growth and development in America's largest metropolis, making this ceremony all the more significant. As these men gather to lay the cornerstone, they contribute to building not only bricks and mortar but also a sense of community and brotherhood. Granger Art on Demand presents us with this historical snapshot from its collection - an evocative reminder of New York City's rich heritage. This image invites viewers to reflect on how architecture can serve as both a physical representation of progress and an emblematic testament to human collaboration.
