One hundred years of Aurora Grata, 1808-1908
A 1908 Brooklyn commemorative history of the Aurora Grata Consistory, a Scottish Rite Masonic body, written by Charles A. Brockaway to mark its first century from 1808. The pictures are formal head-and-shoulders portraits of its members, in black-and-white halftone and engraved styles, dark suits and high collars, a useful reference for designers wanting period male portraiture with plain backgrounds and strong, sober lighting.
