A masterpiece of our common past printed with impeccable beauty
A masterpiece of our common past printed with impeccable beauty.
This magnificent volume is part of publishing history, and remains the most faithful, most lauded and most complete reproduction of the Bayeux Tapestry ever published. Photographed in controlled conditions and produced to the highest technical standards, it reproduces the entire work - all 70 metres - in perfect colour plates large enough to reveal the Tapestry's extraordinary craftsmanship in minute detail. David Wilson also provides a summary of the narrative, explaining each episode and covering related topics such as costumes, armour, ships, buildings and social customs.
Nothing like the Bayeux Tapestry exists anywhere in the world, yet few people have actually seen it in situ. This book makes it accessible as never before.
