Mackey, Albert Gallatin, 1808-1881 · 1874 · Philadelphia : Moss & Co. · 21 pictures

An encyclopaedia of freemasonry by Albert Gallatin Mackey, published in Philadelphia by Moss & Co. in 1874, aimed at Masonic readers and anyone curious about the fraternity's arts, sciences and literature. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of Masonic emblems: a radiant triangle, a triangle enclosing a symbol within a ring, an ornate cross-and-star badge with swords, and a six-pointed star. A designer might borrow their geometric simplicity, radiating line patterns and symmetrical emblem layouts.
