Dedication memorial of the new masonic temple, Philadelphia, September 26th, 29th, 30th, 1873
This 1875 commemorative volume was produced by the Library Committee of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia to record the 1873 dedication of the new Masonic Temple for members of the order. The pictures include engraved ornamental emblem panels with crosses and scrolls, a Gothic-arched interior hall with pews and an organ, and a photographed auditorium draped in dark curtains, offering designers models for emblematic framing, scrolled cartouches, and Victorian Gothic interiors.
