EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How to Make a Mason, 1800" offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of Freemasonry. Created by Eugen Lennhoff and published in 1932, this lithograph showcases an anti-masonic caricature that pokes fun at the secret society's rituals and symbols. The image portrays a comical scene where a group of men is engaged in an initiation ceremony. The bottom half of the picture focuses on stonemasons tools, an apron, and various masonic symbols, emphasizing their significance within the ritualistic process. However, rather than conveying solemnity or mystery, this cartoonish depiction adds a touch of humor and absurdity to the proceedings. Through its exaggerated portrayal of mumbo jumbo and ridiculousness associated with Freemasonry, this artwork invites viewers to question the perceived seriousness surrounding secret societies. It challenges our preconceived notions about these organizations while simultaneously offering entertainment through its clever visual storytelling. As we delve into this whimsical piece from English School's collection dating back to the 19th century, it becomes clear that "How to Make a Mason" serves as both social commentary and satire. Its playful nature encourages us to reflect on societal norms and traditions while reminding us not to take everything too seriously. With its rich symbolism and humorous undertones, this print captivates audiences by shedding light on one facet of human curiosity – our fascination with secrets hidden behind closed doors.
