Interesting Cabinet card photograph of a member of a Fraternal Organization. He is wearing very elaborate garb which is captured well by the photographer. Is this distinguished looking man a member of a Masonic group? I would appreciate information from anyone who can supply me with this gentleman’s affiliation. The photographer is Wolstenholme of BlackPool and Middleton, England.
THE CABINET CARD GALLERY 
Absolutely a Mason, this fellow is a past-master, and very likely a Provincial Grand Lodge officer from what looks like Lancashire.
I believe that the unidentified man’s medal is from AOKMC – ancient order knights of the mystic chain.
