Early Tracing Board

This 200 year old emblematic oil painting on canvas, which measures 52 3/4 in. high by 40 5/8 in. wide, was originally used to assist in teaching the lessons of the fraternity. It is one of two early tracing boards donated to the Livingston Masonic Library in 1994 by Western Star Lodge, No. 15 of Bridgewater, New York. The Lodge, which had owned the paintings since their creation, was founded in 1797
