have come down from the designs
of artists well known to fame. For
example, there are limitations Of
knockers designed by Giovanni di Bo.
logna in the early sixteenth century.
Aside from Colonial designs those
of England are perhaps the most pop
ular. A very common knocker re-
produced in miniature is that known
as the Durham Demon. 1t Is a copy
Of one taken from the sanctuary door
OF Durham Cathedral. Another great
favorite. perhaps the one most in de-
mand. is the Lincoln Imp. taken from
the door Of Lincoln Cathedral. A third
comes from the refectory door Of the
same edifice. All are Of Gothic de-
signs Of the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. Some OF the Colonial
knockers are Of unusual beauty Of
design, the eagle knocker being one
OF the most elaborate.
The most practical knockers show
the ornamental device forming the
handle attached to the brass plate or
escutcheon. This Ia preferred to one
without a plate. that is the one in
which the handle is affixed to the door
