EDITORS COMMENTS
The Infernal Chamber: A Glimpse into the Unusual Gathering of Freemasons in the 1890s This photograph print, titled 'The Infernal Chamber,' transports us back to the enigmatic world of the late 1890s. In this intriguing scene, a group of Freemasons, their faces shrouded in mystery, are gathered around a dimly lit chamber adorned with paintings that depict demons and the damned in Hell. Contrary to the popular belief of suffering souls in the underworld, these figures in the artwork appear to be calm and composed, adding an unusual twist to the traditional concept of Hell. At the center of this peculiar gathering, a figure named Hiram is being crowned by Eblis, a demonic figure. The significance of this ceremony is unclear, but it is believed to represent the transition of Hiram from a mundane life to a more spiritual or enlightened one. The Freemasons, a secretive society known for their complex rituals and symbolism, may have used this imagery to represent the initiation process or the acceptance of the darker aspects of human nature. This photograph, though not much is known about its origins, offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural practices of the late 1890s. The unusual combination of Freemasonry, Hell, and demonic figures challenges our perceptions of these societies and their beliefs. The image invites us to ponder the role of the unknown and the mysterious in human societies and the ways in which they manifest in our collective imagination.
