Members of Anglo-Saxon Lodge sit and stand together in ceremonial dress in this 1902 group portrait, a format lodges often used to record their membership at a given moment. Freemasonry was a popular fraternal movement in the United States and Britain at the turn of the 20th century, with lodges serving as social clubs, mutual-aid societies and places for ritual and civic fellowship. Group portraits like this one preserved who belonged to a lodge and how they presented themselves to the public, and the regalia visible in the photograph reflects the lodge's rituals and its sense of tradition.
