Limited Edition Robert Carrel Jordan 1884 Portrait Print Available for Purchase
One of the important Masonic artifacts owned by the Nebraska Masonic Foundation Library and Museum is a bespoke oil portrait of the first Grand Master of Masons of Nebraska, MWB Robert Carrel Jordan.
This portrait was gifted to the Grand Lodge of Nebraska in 1884 by an Omaha artist and has been in storage and poorly maintained for the last 138 years. Over that time, the frame had been broken, holes torn in the canvas and the colors have faded from time and dirt.
The Nebraska Masonic Foundation recently undertook a restoration project to recover this important piece of our Masonic past and the results are stunning! The portrait once again has the color, depth and presence that the artist intended.
The Nebraska Masonic Foundation is now offering a limited number of high-quality prints on acid-free archival paper stock suitable for framing of the restored painting to the Craft. Only 25 17 prints are available now.
