History of Freemasonry & Concordant Orders De Luxe Leather Bound Antique 1910
An impressive early 20th-century Masonic reference volume: History of the Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons and Concordant Orders. This is the sought-after Edition De Luxe issue, noted inside as being limited to one thousand copies. Bound in richly gilt-decorated black leather (or leatherette over boards), this substantial illustrated volume presents exceptionally well on display with classic Masonic square-and-compass decoration to the front cover.
Published in Boston by The Fraternity Publishing Company in 1910, this copy retains decorative endpapers and attractive page toning with visible gilt page edges. Condition shows honest age and shelf wear: rubbing and edge loss to the binding, corner wear, scuffs, and an ownership/notation page with handwritten entries. A desirable shelf piece for Freemasonry collectors, lodge libraries, fraternal historians, or decorative antique book buyers.
