Knighton-Hammond carried out a number of etchings featuring the gargoyles on Notre Dame. These symbolic protectors have a practical purpose in discharging the roof water away from the building fabric. The gargoyles are part of the rich decor and Knighton-Hammond could see sufficient beauty in them to draw them for his etchings.
