"In November 1917, the Warden and Fellows of Winchester College decided, at the suggestion of Sir Frederic Kenyon, that a photographic survey should be made of the sculptured ornaments of its ancient buildings. A year later Mr. Sydney Pitcher, F.P.S. of College Court, Gloucester, was invited to undertake this survey, and accepted the invitiation. He started the work in 1922 and brought it to a close in 1929. The main scheme was to obtain a permanent record of the many perishable stone carvings with which the buildings had been adorned when originally erected... The portfolio reproduces a selction from Mr. Pitcher's photographs; it consists of frty-seven plates, comprising one hundred and twenty-three of the photographs taken by him. The whole collection is preserved amongst the College archives." - Introduction, page 3.
