Commentary


Le Grand Orient de France a aussi commémoré par des médailles son propre bicentenaire en 1973, celui de la Révolution Française en 1989, celui de la mort de Mozart en 1991, celui du Rite Ecossais Ancien Accepté en 2001.
L'année 1973 marque le bicentenaire de la formation du Grand Orient de France. C’est l’occasion de déballer les collections et reconstituer le musée sous le nom de « musée du Grand Orient de France et de la Franc-maçonnerie européenne » d’emblée conçu pour accueillir le public. Il bénéficie des conseils et de l’aide de la Direction des Musées de France, notamment de René Guilly, qui lui octroie le label de « musée contrôlé de deuxième catégorie ». Exemplaire non répertorié et non photographié dans l’ouvrage de Marc Labouret. Manque au Labouret !.
The Grand Orient de France also commemorated its own bicentenary with medals in 1973, that of the French Revolution in 1989, that of Mozart's death in 1991, and that of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite in 2001. The year 1973 marked the bicentenary of the formation of the Grand Orient de France. This was the occasion to unpack the collections and reconstitute the museum under the name \\\"Museum of the Grand Orient of France and European Freemasonry,\\\" which was immediately designed to welcome the public. It benefited from the advice and assistance of the Direction des Musées de France, notably René Guilly, who granted it the label of \\\"controlled museum of the second category.\\\" example not listed and not photographed in Marc Labouret's book. Missing from 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.
