Masonic apron from the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, late 18th century
African-American abolitionist Prince Hall (c. 1735-1807) founded Prince Hall Freemasonry and was a leader in the free black community in Boston. He also lobbied for education rights for African American children and was active in the back-to-Africa movement. The apron is composed of a front piece (2013.71.1a) and two ties (2013.71.1bc). The front of the apron is likely silk and constructed from two pieces sewn together along the top edge. Both have a white central field with blue borders. The main piece is a rough square featuring a compass and sun painted in gold. The upper piece is an isosceles triangle coming to a point 6 3/4" from the top of the apron. It features a gold painted illustration of an eye in the middle of a radiating design. The apron is backed with undecorated cotton or linen, which is discolored and stained. The two detached ribbon ties are blue and likely made of silk

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Masonic apron from the late 18th century, belonging to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. The founder of Prince Hall Freemasonry, African-American abolitionist Prince Hall (c. 1735-1807), was not only a prominent leader in Boston's free black community but also an advocate for education rights and active in the back-to-Africa movement. The apron itself is a remarkable piece of ceremonial costume, composed of a front piece and two ties. Made from silk, it features a white central field with blue borders. The main square section displays an intricate compass and sun design painted in gold, symbolizing the principles held dear by Freemasons. Above this lies an isosceles triangle with a striking illustration of an eye surrounded by radiating patterns also painted in gold. While the apron's front exudes elegance and symbolism, its backing reveals signs of wear and tear over time – discolored and stained cotton or linen that serves as a reminder of its age and historical significance. This artifact represents not only the rich cultural heritage associated with African Americans but also their contributions to society at large. Housed within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this Masonic apron stands as both a testament to Prince Hall's legacy as well as his enduring impact on American history.
