EDITORS COMMENTS
This Edwardian British postcard from 1908 offers a satirical take on the secretive world of Freemasonry. Freemasonry, with its origins in the local fraternities of stonemasons dating back to the fourteenth century, has long been shrouded in mystery and intrigue. In this whimsical image, we see caricatures of freemasons engaged in their rituals, wearing their distinctive aprons and wielding symbolic tools. The artist behind this print captures the essence of the era's fascination with secret societies and clandestine gatherings. The exaggerated features and comical expressions add a touch of humor to what was often seen as a serious and solemn tradition. During the Edwardian period, satire was a popular form of social commentary, poking fun at various aspects of society including politics, religion, and yes, even fraternal organizations like Freemasonry. This postcard serves as both entertainment and critique, inviting viewers to ponder the inner workings of these exclusive groups. As we gaze upon this vintage print today, we are transported back to a time when curiosity about secret societies ran high and artists were not afraid to poke fun at traditions that seemed mysterious or elitist. The charm of this satirical postcard lies in its ability to capture both the allure and absurdity of Freemasonry in early twentieth-century Britain.
