The Doolittle Pictures V14N9

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Carl Claudy, and is brought to us by WBro John Rock, Solar Star #14, Bath ME. The pictures which illustrate the emblems of the three degrees, either on a chart on an easel or projected with slides are practically universal in American Freemasonry. The curious uniformity and unquestionably poor art of the vast majority of these illustrations in most bear testimony to the universality of Masonic thought in all of the Grand Jurisdictions in the country, for most are direct copies of the originals, the Doolittle Pictures, by the Connecticut engraver. Here, we find their story. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
