The print, titled "Costume of a Freemason for his reception into the grade of Master" offers a glimpse into the mysterious world of freemasonry. The intricately detailed attire features an apron adorned with symbolic imagery, representing the sacred principles and values upheld by this ancient fraternity. A sword hangs gracefully at the Mason's side, symbolizing strength and protection. The cordon draped across his chest signifies honor and distinction within their ranks.
