A stunning reproduction of the Bayeux Tapestry, transcribed and translated for today's readers.

Undoubtedly, the Bayeux Tapestry is one of the most important documents in British history. The tapestry is a visual narrative account of the events leading up to, and including, the Norman Conquest during the eleventh century; as such, the tapestry's historical significance is unparalleled in its depiction of one of the United Kingdom's most pivotal time periods. This book reproduces the full cycle of images of the Bayeux Tapestry made in the nineteenth century by Victor Sansonetti, based on drawings made by Charles Alfred Stothard and published in his Vetusta Monumenta (1821-23) for the Society of Antiquaries. This edition not only translates the Latin tituli and includes an accessible introduction, but each tapestry scene is beautifully reproduced to maximum effect and accompanied by both the text and translation.
