‘One of the most stunningly beautiful books I have ever seen’ Guardian
‘A superb book ... so beautifully photographed that ever stitch is visible ... never likely to be equalled’ Sunday Telegraph
‘Warmly recommended for both its beauty and sound scholarship’ The Times Literary Supplement
‘Almost makes the original redundant’ New Statesman
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.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket, 234 pages : color illustrations ; 34 cm. Very good/fine, clean, crisp, unmarked. "In the small town of Bayeux in Normandy, in a museum specially devised to hold this single object, is a strip of linen nearly a thousand years old. In a series of vivid scenes, with a running explanatory text in Latin, the Tapestry relates the invasion of England by William of Normandy and his victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066." "The Tapestry is reproduced in full colour, with captions on a fold-out page for easy reference. A second reproduction of the Tapestry in black and white has a detailed accompanying commentary. Sir David Wilson provides an up-to-date summary of the historical evidence, explaining each episode and covers related topics such as the costumes, armour, ships, buildings and customs." "As a social document the Tapestry is of incalculable value. As a work of art the Tapestry is the sole survivor of a form which may once have been wide-spread, the wall-hanging commemorating the deeds of a great man."--BOOK JACKET.
