A tinted print titled *Masonic Memorial* whose shelflist card links it to a name, Duval, though the card's details are unverified and no date is recorded. Lodges commonly raised memorials like this to honor members who had died, often pairing Masonic emblems such as the square and compasses with inscriptions naming the deceased. The hand coloring, added to many prints of this kind to warm up black-and-white images, can offer clues about when and how the piece was finished. Until better evidence turns up, the attribution and date should be treated as provisional.
