1927 Masonic Education: The History of Solomon's Temple



I'm not sure why I only just stumbled on this one. Back on December 15, 2016, New York's Chancellor Robert R. Livingston Masonic Library hosted a magic lantern show that was narrated by Peter A. Flihan about the legendary and actual construction of Solomon's Temple. It is a recreation of a Masonic education presentation originally made using glass slides and the "magic lanterns" most of us have seen buried in a lodge closet or basement. The program was first made in 1927 by the Grand Lodge of New York, and a script circulated with the slide collection. It was state of the art lodge programming in its day.


This video was created by using the original lantern slides and a projector that are a part of the Museum's collection.
