Rare Paul Revere engraving of a Masonic Summons to the Lodge of St. Andrew, Boston; the engraving has the signature of Paul Revere as Secretary of the Lodge of St. Andrew; Revere was Secretary of the lodge while Moses Deshon was Master, whose name appears in script on the engraving; the summons is dated 1768.


Moses Deshon, Master of the Lodge of St. Andrew, received this form, printed and signed by Paul Revere, to inform him of an upcoming meeting. The designs on it, showing stonemasons' work and jewels of office, among other things, also reminded him of the ideals and moral lessons of Freemasonry.
