The traditions, origin and early history of Freemasonry
A 19th-century history of Freemasonry published in New York in 1882 by Azariah Pierson and Godfrey Steinbrenner, aimed at members of the fraternity and readers of its origins. The pictures are wood-engraved scenes: a rock-cut cave interior with tiered stone, a sepulchral cave in the cliffs of Wady Mokatteb, and a formal ceremonial frontispiece with draped curtains, columns, clasped hands and a radiant eye, useful for designers working on esoteric, classical or secret-society motifs.
