Excerpt from The Archaeological Journal, Vol. 25: Published Under the Direction of the Central Committee of the Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, for the Encouragement and Prosecution of Researches Into the Arts and Monuments of the Early and Middle Ages
IT is singular that up to the present time so little is known of the more ancient sculptures displayed upon the west front of Lincoln Cathedral. These constitute a series of subjects which can scarcely escape the notice even of a casual oh server, as it comes within an easy reach of the eye, and through the depths of its shadows as contrasted with its prominent light-catching portions, courts enquiry from all entering any one of the western portals of that venerable pile which it serves to adorn. Enquiring looks are indeed usually raised towards these sculptures but as yet little has been done towards their elucidation, so that only here and there certain subjects have been detected, while the remainder still demand explanation it will now, therefore, be my object to endeavour to grasp the key unlocking the secrets of that work of ancient art which has so long adorned the west front of our beauteous queen of English cathedrals. Those who have attempted to describe these sculptures have either omitted to make any comments upon their difficulties, or have left their elucidation to the discernment of future ob servers. Their approximate date even has not been agreed to by former examiners, some attributing them to the Saxon period, some to the Norman. Of these, Gough, Wild, and even Cockerell, deemed them to be Saxon, whereas they nu doubtedly are, from their own internal evidence and style.
