The gems of masonry : emblematic and descriptive
A Freemasonry emblem book published by its author in Cincinnati in 1859, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings and aimed at Masonic readers. Its pictures are small black-and-white line engravings of a pedestal supporting an open book crossed by a compass and square, with hatched shading on stone and page edges, offering designers a clear model for simple symbolic emblems.
