"Masonic Chart by Bufford, John Henry" is a 19th-century lithographic print created by John Henry Bufford, an American lithographer known for his prolific work during the mid-1800s. The chart is a visual representation of Freemasonry symbols and allegories, designed to encapsulate the teachings and values of the Masonic fraternity. Bufford's work on the Masonic Chart is a reflection of the era's interest in fraternal organizations and the importance of visual aids in the dissemination of their philosophies and rituals.

The Masonic Chart typically includes a variety of Masonic symbols, such as the square and compasses, the all-seeing eye, the level, and the plumb, among others. These symbols are often accompanied by images of biblical scenes or figures that are significant within the Masonic tradition, such as King Solomon's Temple, which is central to Masonic lore. The chart serves as both an educational tool for members of the fraternity and an artifact of Masonic culture.

John Henry Bufford was an artist and lithographer who ran a successful lithography company in Boston, Massachusetts. His firm, Bufford's Lithography, produced a wide range of prints, including portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes, as well as commercial and decorative prints like the Masonic Chart. Bufford's work is notable for its fine detail and the high quality of its lithographic reproduction, which made his prints sought after during his time.
