Pair of Victorian Masonic Oil Paintings.(Masonic tracing boards)
Pair of Masonic Oil Paintings circa 1850
Tracing Boards are essential visual aids used in Freemasonry to teach and convey the symbolic meanings of each Masonic degree. Each board corresponds to one of the main degrees—Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason—and is rich in symbols like the checkered floor, pillars, and winding staircase. These symbols help illustrate key Masonic teachings, such as the journey of self-improvement, morality, and the concepts of life, death, and rebirth.
As found and original condition, need retouching. Uncleaned, as 'started life'.
Very surreal.
