1723 Anderson 750 Jigsaw Puzzle

£20.00

Celebrating the Tercentenary of the 1723 Constitutions our 750 piece jigsaw will keep you entertained for hours!

Image is of John Pine's engraving. During the 18th century, there were two rival Grand Lodges. Each Lodge used their books of rules (known as constitutions) as propaganda tools to promote their approach to freemasonry. These illustrations, or frontispieces, were often created by famous artists and many were sold as artworks in their own right. Each frontispiece is a valuable historical record, offering a unique insight into the lives of its creators and the state of the English freemasonry at the time. Published for the original Grand Lodge in 1723, the first evert Constitutions was written by a priest called James Anderson. With the help of a frontispiece by engraver John Pine, it established the Grand Lodge as the governing body of English Freemasonry. During this time, freemasonry evolved into an important and respected organisation.

2023 marks the tercentenary of the 1723 Constitutions and how Freemasonry became an important vector for Enlightenment principles, including religious tolerance, meritocracy, self-improvement by education, and even democratic elections
