Uses of the Bayeux tapestry,
This review is from: The Bayeux Tapestry (Art & Design S.) (Paperback)
The book includes a full reproduction of the tapestry sequence - an overview over 4 pages, with a full sequence of each scene then occupying (approx) a half A4 page taking 76 pages. Accompanying (under) the picture (plate) is a translation of the latin phrase is a commentary which attempts to relate to a historical context and/or event. In addition there are 80 pages of commentary about the tapestry (plus 6 pages of notes to the commentary ), including contemporary events, pictures of contemporary art, and highlighting the unknowns about its creation, as well as detailing its known history and restorations. In all useful for contemporary art & life, the Norman invasion as well as very informed information about the tapestry.

What an interesting book!,
This review is from: The Bayeux Tapestry (Art & Design S.) (Paperback)
This book is really wonderful: very interesting and informative. The books format, about half explanatory text and interesting sidebars and half a reproduction of the tapestry itself is great. The writing is clear and fluid, drawing you into the mystery of this era and its decisive battle. An adult will love the essays, and a child will enjoy the pictures. Overall, I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in timeless stories.
