Broadside, 8-3/8" x 12-1/4." One light fox spot; one closed tear at upper left corner expertly repaired without loss. Very Good. The broadside celebrates victory in "the long bitterly contested law suit that has been in the court nearly four years between the two colored Grand Lodges of Masons at Washington, D.C." The Court of Appeals "defeated and routed at every point the bogus Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Washington, D.C.," and sustained "the legality of the lawful legal and regular M.W. Grand Lodge." "The decision has been a fatal blow to the illegitimate and unlawful faction of the followers of the Prince Hall and old compact negro masons in this country. They have been a source of annoyance to the legitimate and regular Lodges and Grand Lodges of colored Masons all over this country for some time." The broadside congratulates the victor's "most learned and brilliant lawyers." The case which the broadside celebrates is printed in the official reports as Most Worshipful Grand Lodge v. Grimshaw, 34 App. D.C. 383 [1910]. Not located on OCLC, but the broadside is reproduced at the site of the Hiram United Sovereign Grand Lodge on line. Seller Inventory # 39347
