Beginning in 1854, the Grand Lodge began assembling portraits of its Grand Masters, as well as depictions of other prominent Masons from Massachusetts. The first committee reported on June 14, 1854 (Page V-513). "In the opinion of your committee, the proper place, most certainly, for the portraits of our Past Grand Masters is the East of that Grand Lodge, which, when they were still with us, their presence and their labors, so much adorned." The full-length portrait of George Washington, donated by Bro. Samuel Parkman, should be placed where "''the latest and youngest made entered apprentice'' might the more be led to realize, and try to follow the almost perfect faithfulness of its unequalled original."

PORTRAITS OF GRAND MASTERS AND OTHER PROMINENT MASONS

Beginning in 1854, the Grand Lodge began assembling portraits of its Grand Masters, as well as depictions of other prominent Masons from Massachusetts. The first committee reported on June 14, 1854 (Page V-513). "In the opinion of your committee, the proper place, most certainly, for the portraits of our Past Grand Masters is the East of that Grand Lodge, which, when they were still with us, their presence and their labors, so much adorned." The full-length portrait of George Washington, donated by Bro. Samuel Parkman, should be placed where "the latest and youngest made entered apprentice might the more be led to realize, and try to follow the almost perfect faithfulness of its unequalled original."

By vote of the Grand Lodge, a committee was appointed "to procure so far as may be found practicable, Portraits of the Past Grand Masters of this Grand Lodge." In December, 1854, the committee reported that they had secured portraits of Bartlett, Abbot, Russell, Peabody, Dean, Revere (a gift of his son James W. Revere), and http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=GMRobinson Robinson], along with a bust of John Warren, provided by his son Dr. John Warren, and a bust of Robert Burns, a gift of Bro. George H. Child. At the Feast of St. John, 1854, newly-elected Grand Master Lewis presented the portrait of the recently retired Grand Master, George M. Randall.
