Talk
Roger Pemberton, Past President of the Manchester Association for Masonic Research and a member of Quatuor Coronati Lodge will give an illustrated paper on William Hogarth’s overtly Masonic print, ‘Night’. Early critics thought this was a satire on “bouzy” Freemasons and this calumny continues to today. Roger Pemberton argues for a very different interpretation.
