More actions
The Mystery of Masonry Brought to Light by the Gormagons is a 1724 engraving by William Hogarth satirizing Freemasonry and its short-lived rival fraternal society, the Ancient Noble Order of the Gormagons.[1] Hogarth, himself a Freemason, mocked the secrecy and pageantry of both organizations' initiation rituals, part of a broader early career interest in satirizing fashionable societies and fraternal orders.
