Volume 1 Issue 3
September 2009
Welcome
Issue three of the MAE newsletter and I am thinking of renaming it what doyou think? Any ideas would Magazine or Journal work better? I havereceived some great articles for this month’s publication and want tothank all of you who have contributed.There are a few pieces of news for you all, I was delighted to receive abrilliant review on the Beehive blog on the Freemasoninformation.comsite and they have contacted me to do a follow up. For those of youwho haven’t read it I have included it in the newsletter.I have also been contacted by an internet based Lodge of Researchabout presenting a paper online on some aspect of the Masonic Art Exchange. SoI have a busy time ahead of me as first I decide what to present and second actually write it!As always we have articles from many people from different walks of life who offer up to usvarious different aspects of Masonic Art. Now the reason for the fetching photo of me! Inthis issue we have not one but two great articles relating to the period of the forming of theUSA one about a beautiful rifle and the other about hand painted aprons. Of course ourcover art depicts the familiar image of a Templar Knight and this issue we see the first of aseries of articles on Templars in art, when I decided to write the article I really did imagine itbeing just a few pictures accompanied by a little text and already it has the makings of anongoing part of the MAE Newsletter.Last month in my introduction I said that after this issue we would be bi-monthly during thenew ‘Masonic Season’ (September-June) but this is under review as I think we may be ableto make it every six weeks or maybe even keep it monthly.(keep an eye on your inbox formore information!)As always I am in constant need of
contributions
to the newsletter and leave it up to you todefine Art (I wouldn’t be so presumptuous). I am also very happy to let you all know theMasonic Art Exchange webpage
http://masonic-ae.com
(which most if not all of would havepassed through on your way here) has been put on steroids and has increased in size now we just need to fill it.Finally, thank you all for taking the time to support this project and am going to ask you totake careful consideration of the donate button on the webpage a donation as little as €2 eachcould make this project continue to run and expand. I look forward to hearing from many of you soon.Yours Fraternally
