About the Artist:

John Harris (1791-1873) was a talented artist of the early 19th century who was famous for his works in watercolors and miniature paintings. He specialized in watercolor illustrations for books (architecture, geography, etc), and exhibited at the Royal Academy as early as 1810. The British Museum possesses one of his pieces. John started his Masonic career in 1818, when he was initiated in London. The Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of the United Free And Accepted Masons Of England' in 1814, valued his works and it is assumed that the Duke commissioned John to harmonize the Tracing Boards by creating one official model for each degree. After dedicating all his strengths to his art, he unfortunately lost his vision but, despite this, continued to look after his invalid wife. From 1856 until his death, he was a dependent of the Royal Masonic Benelovent Institution
