STUTTGART: Franz Mittelbach Verlag, 1952. First edition. Hardcover book in dustjacket, 6x8.5 inches, 110 pages. Text in German. Appears to have been published on the occasion of the 1952 REUNION of GRAND MASTERS in BERN, Switzerland.
The book is SIGNED on the front free endpaper by 23 freemason Grand Masters who were attending the reunion. There is also a LAID-IN two page document with the heading REUNION des GRANDS MAITRES à BERNE, les 29 at 30 mars 1952. The document has the names of Grand Masters and other delegates attending the reunion and the country where their Lodge is located. The document is also SIGNED by the attendees next to their printed names.
Condition: GOOD book, some toning, light foxing to the endpapers, otherwise tight, bright and clean; in a FAIR dustjacket that has soiling, rubbing, some corner tip wear, edgewear, and some closed edge tears, but is still doing its job. The laid in document has a horizontal fold, some toning, and light signs of handling. ALL the SIGNATURES in the book and document are bright and clear.
An interesting gathering of POST WWII FREEMASONS primarily from EUROPE.
