EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history captured in the Bayeux Tapestry, an exquisite wool embroidery on linen from the 11th century. The tapestry depicts a pivotal moment as Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex and brother-in-law to King Edward the Confessor, is sent with his men to Normandy. The intricate needlework was sewn by English women, most likely in Kent, following a Norman brief. It vividly illustrates the events leading up to Duke William of Normandy's invasion and conquest of England in 1066, including the fateful Battle of Hastings where King Harold met his demise. In this particular scene, we witness Edward the Confessor instructing Harold before his departure for Normandy. The tapestry beautifully captures their interaction against a backdrop that transports us back to medieval times. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every stitch tells a story. From the horses and dogs accompanying them on their journey to the majestic falconry perched atop Harold's arm – each element adds depth and richness to this historical masterpiece. Displayed at Musee de la Tapisserie in Bayeux, France, this artwork serves as a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship during one of Europe's most significant periods -the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this image print today, we are reminded of our shared past and how it continues to shape our present world.
