Masonic
Revelation
Three paintings no longer than a man's hand hide one of the world's most fascinating mysteries.
Discover the hidden philosophy concealed within Josiah Bowring's remarkable tracing boards.
The Discovery
In 2019, three extraordinary miniature tracing boards painted by Josiah Bowring in 1819 were rediscovered in a museum cabinet at Freemasons' Hall, London.
Although long admired as the finest tracing boards ever painted, their deeper significance remained unexplained.
What if these paintings were more than beautiful Masonic artwork?
What if they preserved a complete spiritual philosophy hidden within the symbolism of Freemasonry itself?
The Masonic Revelation explores that possibility.

“Symbols are not decorations. They are a language.”
For centuries Freemasons have preserved a remarkable symbolic tradition. The purpose of this website is not to replace that tradition, but to explore it — to ask what the symbols may have been trying to tell us, all along.
