Commentary
De rite et d’obédience de la G.L.D.F. Gustave Mesureur est un homme politique, député de Paris, ministre dans le cabinet Léon Bourgeois, vice-président de la Chambre et directeur de l’Assistance Publique. Le dictionnaire de la Franc-Maçonnerie indique que ce “grand Maçon a été le vrai créateur de la Grand Loge Symbolique (1880) puis de la Grande Loge de France (1894) en obtenant des Souverains Commandeurs du Rite la séparation des loges bleues et du Suprême Conseil du Rite Écossais Ancien et Accepté. Jusqu’à sa mort, sa vie se confond avec l’histoire de cette Obédience”. Médaille inédite au Labouret.

Until his death, his life is intertwined with the history of this Obedience”. Unpublished medal at Labouret

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.
