Journey through this colorful, hand-drawn account of the Anglo-Saxon artisans who created one of the world's most famous embroideries: the incomparable Bayeux Tapestry.

This fascinating historical guide, re-issued in a stunning collector's hardback format, examines the following questions:
Embroidery authority Jan Messent draws upon her own experience as an embroiderer and artist to piece together all the clues she can find in the tapestry itself. This unique guide gives a thoughtful and researched explanation of how the tapestry was stitched, placing its creation in a plausible context; it celebrates the craftsmanship of the incredible forgotten women who poured their creativity and skill into its creation.
