The talk will include examples from the Museum’s collection such as a painted apron made in the 1820s in Salem, Massachusetts, by Nathan Lakeman for Charles Peabody.
Both men belonged to Jordan Lodge, suggesting a shared understanding of an apron’s preferred design.
Other examples spring from collaborations between Masonic customers and non-Mason apron makers, several of them women.
While barred from membership, these women were not absent from the temple; they employed a working knowledge of Masonic symbolism to create aprons.
Like many other craftsmen of the era, these women utilized their skills to serve a growing Masonic clientele.
A book signing will follow.
