48x38 cm. Engraved membership certificate on vellum, previously folded, some soiling at edges. The engraving credit indicates that it was drawn by Penniman and Mills and engraved by Annin & Smith of Boston. Penniman is John Ritto Penniman, a noted painter of the period who was himself a Freemason and who also designed printed material, including Masonic membership certificates. This certificate features text in English and Latin on two scrolls held up by three classical columns with female figures at the top. Above these columns and text is an all-seeing eye with the words "To the Fraternity, Peace and Good Fellowship" printed below it. Signed by several officers of the Meridian Masonic Lodge of Needham, Massachusetts.
