an interesting illustration -- in the 18th and very early 19th centuries there were co-ed Freemason lodges following what was known as the "rite of adoption" -- This one is in France and looks to be during the First Empire, I think
Just for clarity of date, I believe this illustration depicts a scene somewhere around 1815 to 1825. I came to that conclusion by studying the gentlemen and ladies outfits, and their bearing. I hope the dates help further your interest!

I love this! the way it was drawn make it look much older than it actually is.
it has sort of a primitive feel to it, doesn't it?
in the 18. century many "modern" philosophers were in those Freemason.s Lodges
