Lots of masonic symbolism to find here!
Following on @GarLarPe tweet about a masonic poster from the early 19thC, this version, belonging to @Trinitylodge254 has been photographed in high definition so you can enlarge and scroll it. The arms of the Antients Grand Lodge (top center) make it pre 1813 (cont on next tweet)
