EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Freemasonry is the enemy (spider weaving his web on France)" by Achille Lemot depicts a powerful caricature that appeared in the renowned publication "Le Pelerin" on April 28,1907. The image showcases a spider intricately spinning its web over France, symbolizing the perceived threat of Freemasonry to the nation. The artist's skillful drawing captures the intensity and rivalry between Freemasonry and French society during the early 20th century. With meticulous attention to detail, Lemot portrays this complex relationship through visual metaphor, highlighting how Freemasonry was seen as an influential force entangling itself within various aspects of French life. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its portrayal of societal concerns at that time. It reflects widespread anxieties about secret societies and their potential impact on national identity and values. By presenting Freemasonry as a spider weaving its web over France, Lemot conveys a sense of encroachment and manipulation. This thought-provoking piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the political climate and social tensions prevalent during this period. Through its striking imagery, it invites contemplation about power dynamics, secrecy, and loyalty within society. As part of Leonard de Selva's private collection, this photograph serves as a valuable historical artifact capturing both artistic prowess and socio-political commentary from over a century ago.
