An encyclopaedia of freemasonry and its kindred sciences : comprising the whole range of arts, sciences and literature as connected with the institution
An encyclopaedia of freemasonry and its kindred sciences, compiled by Albert Gallatin Mackey and Charles T. McClenachan and published in Philadelphia by L.H. Everts in 1887, serving as a reference for the fraternal order's symbols and rites. The four pictures are engraved emblems: a sunburst-framed seal within a serpent ring, a dividers-and-compass arrangement on an arched panel, an open book with square and compass atop a pedestal, and a triangle radiating rays, all in dense black line work that suggests ornate, esoteric badge design.
