Harris' masonic text-book; a concise historical sketch of masonry, and the organization of masonic grand lodges, and especially of masonry among colored men in America ..
A 1902 Petersburg, Virginia masonic text-book by Harrison Llewellyn Harris, offering a historical sketch of freemasonry and its grand lodges, with particular attention to masonry among African American men. The pictures are plain black-and-white line engravings of architectural and ceremonial objects: a pedestal, a stepped plinth, and a finial-topped form with a flame motif. A designer might take from them the crisp hatched-line rendering of stone and classical proportion.
