EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and symbolic Rose-croix lamen, a collar jewel created in 1888 by William Wynn Westcott. The piece is composed of watercolor and ink on colored card with silk embellishments, adding an extra layer of elegance to its design. Inspired by an image found in the Geheime Figuren der Rosenkreuzer (Secret Symbols of Rosicrucians) from 1785, this lamen holds great significance within the esoteric world. Originally fashioned as a cross worn around the neck, it became associated with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The crest-like structure features Hebrew inscriptions and portrays an eagle at its center. This emblematic representation encompasses elements from fin de siècle Victorian art while embodying various aspects of rosicrucianism. As a relic from another era, this painting offers us a glimpse into a secretive sect or cult that delved into mystical practices. The presence of eagles throughout further emphasizes their importance within rosicrucianist beliefs. Preserved in private collection today, this Rose-croix lamen serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. Its detailed craftsmanship invites contemplation on the enigmatic world it represents—a testament to human fascination with hidden knowledge and spiritual exploration.
