Starting in the late 1800s, Masonic and fraternal regalia manufacturers began issuing increasingly sophisticated illustrated catalogs of their goods. The descriptions, illustrations, and product offerings within each catalog did not all change with every issue. To distinguish new catalogs from old ones, companies invested in fresh cover artwork to catch the eye—and the business—of the officers charged with making purchases for their groups.
