Commentary
Point n’est besoin d’être Grand Expert pour comprendre que cette loge regroupe plutôt des artistes et des artisans.
Ce jeton est un remarquable travail pour un jeton du XXe siècle, alliant esthétique et symbolisme intelligent. Il n’est pas cité dans le Labouret mais celui-ci précise bien ne pas avoir cherché l’exhaustivité pour le XXe siècle.
Cette loge a ses tenues les 2ème et 4ème lundi à 15 heures à la Grande Loge de France.
You don't need to be a Grand Expert to understand that this lodge is primarily a group of artists and craftsmen. This token is a remarkable piece of work for a 20th-century token, combining aesthetics and intelligent symbolism. It is not mentioned in Labouret, but the latter clearly states that it did not seek to be exhaustive for the 20th century. This lodge holds its meetings on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at 3 p.m. at the Grande Loge de France.

Historical background
FREEMASONRY
The compass and the square are very often associated in an ambivalent symbol of balance: fixity and mobility, passive and active, matter and spirit.. The compass is the tool of the Creator and of the great Architect of the Universe. The spacing of the branches of the compass obeys precise rules and varies according to the three degrees: apprentice, companion, master. The Napoleonic era, in the activity of lodges as in that of many groups, saw a flowering after the terrible years of the revolutionary period. Masonic activity, rid of its republican theories and firmly controlled by a Grand-Master appointed by the Emperor, experienced a vigor in unity never found since.. It is considered that each regiment, each garrison, each city had its Lodge. The testimonies that the sumptuous tokens of the period leave us show that these lodges were rich and influential.. The symbolism is sought after, without comparison with the later eras, which were much more conventional, even bland or destitute at the beginning of the 20th century.. Freemasonry had more than a thousand lodges spread over one hundred and thirty departments and more than sixty thousand Brothers.
