Humorous Masonic Postcards: Millar & Lang

Humorous Masonic Postcards: Millar & Lang

Saturday 6th December 2014

In 1901 Leo Ditriechstein's play, "Are you a Mason?" premiered in New York and this may well have been the inspiration for the "Are you a Mason?" American black and white postcards and the subsequent National series of humorous Masonic postcards published by Millar & Lang of Darnley Works, Darnley Street Glasgow.

While these cards are parodies, they were often purchased by Freemasons.

Today, reproductions of these cards are easily found, but original Millar & Lang humorous Masonic postcards are quite rare and highly collectable.
