La lire maçonne; ou, Recueil de chansons des francs-maçons
La lire maçonne is a late eighteenth-century French collection of Masonic songs, published in La Haye in 1787 by R. van Laak and compiled by Jean Joseph Joniot for members of the Freemason lodges. The four pictures are small woodcut headpieces and tailpieces of symmetrical scrollwork, with acanthus leaves, volutes, shells and central cartouches, which a designer could adapt for decorative borders, dividers or heraldic-style ornament.
