A landmark publication on the iconic Bayeux Tapestry, presenting all-new photography and the latest research.
The Bayeux Tapestry is an iconic artwork, almost seventy meters long, which tells the story of the events leading to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by William, Duke of Normandy. Its account of eleventh-century England and France is like no other, revealing details from civil and military architecture to armor, seafaring, and everyday life. It also includes an intriguing selection of popular fables, figures, and mythical creatures embroidered into its borders, contributing to its mystery and ambiguity.
Featuring a full-color reproduction of the Tapestry and all-new photography, this beautiful book allows the reader to follow the visual narrative—with a scene-by-scene transliteration and English translation of the Tapestry’s Latin—while texts from international experts unpick the importance of the work in understanding this pivotal point in European history. Hardcover, 240 pages.
