Lord's Prayer

Lord's Prayer

Religion, politics and Freemasonry were on the mind of C. R. Warren, the artist who drew and penned this work. On it he or she included images to illustrate commerce—ships and a lighthouse at the top left, and agriculture—buildings and fences at the top right, along with the Lord’s Prayer, portions of a poem by Alexander Pope (1688-1744) and, at the center, a square and compasses, an emblem of Freemasonry.
