Biography of Mrs. Catherine Babington : the only woman mason in the world, and how she became a Blue lodge mason
A 1912 self-published biography printed in Taylorsville, North Carolina, by J. P. Babington about Catherine Babington, presented as the only woman Blue Lodge mason in the world. The pictures are halftone portraits of a woman's face and a man in a dark suit and tie with a walrus moustache, plus a small engraved masonic emblem showing a sun-and-moon face above a pedestal with a square and compass, flanked by two seated women. A designer might take from them the plain, sober look of early twentieth-century small-town print, with its grainy halftones and oval portrait framing.
