EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print captures a unique moment in Masonic ritual from 1844, as members of a French Lodge propose to baptise a Brother's child according to Masonic tradition. The child, referred to as a louveteau or wolf cub, is at the center of this ceremonial event - however, the mother does not appear too keen on the idea.
The image provides a glimpse into the social and cultural significance of secret societies like the Freemasons during that time period. It showcases the intricate rituals and traditions that were upheld by these groups, shedding light on their mysterious practices.
The tension between tradition and modernity is palpable in this scene, as the mother's reluctance hints at her resistance to conforming to age-old customs. The juxtaposition of old-world beliefs with contemporary values adds depth to this snapshot of history.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder of how our past shapes our present and offers valuable insights into the evolution of societal norms. It invites viewers to ponder on themes such as identity, belonging, and legacy while marveling at the rich tapestry of human experience captured within its frame.
