The "Emblematic Chart of Masonic History" presents the story of the fraternity as a single visual scheme, with symbols and figures arranged to trace its lineage. The "F. and A.M." in the title stands for "Free and Accepted Masons," the phrase used by Freemasonry's Grand Lodges, especially in English-speaking countries. Charts like this were popular in the nineteenth century, when lodges and their members wanted to present the order's ancient origins and moral teachings in an easily read form. Such charts usually mixed historical claims with allegorical emblems such as the compass, square, and level, so they are as much statements of belief as records of fact.
