PORTAL, Frederic “A Comparison of Egyptian Symbols” [Masonic Supply Co, 1904]

PORTAL, Frederic. A Comparison of Egyptian Symbols with Those of the Hebrews.

New York: Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Company, 1904. 8.25" x 5.5", 85pp with text illustrations throughout. Original brown cloth, blind-ruled boards, gilt Egyptian motif to spine. Lacking dust jacket; light rubbing at extremities, spine ends gently worn, binding firm; contents clean. Library pocket affixed inside rear board but no indications as to which library may have held it. Very Good.

A work that sits squarely in the late 19th/early 20th-century revival of comparative religion and symbolic interpretation, this volume reflects the period’s fascination with tracing shared iconography across ancient cultures.
