Latest addition to our monographs

Michael Twyman’s monograph Reproducing the Bayeux Tapestry over three centuries has recently been published by the PHS.  Since the eighteenth century, the ‘Bayeux Tapestry’ has been the subject of many monographs, in which it has usually been viewed as a form of historical document, or from an art-historical perspective.  This is the first book to consider how these earlier publications used the printing technology of their time to reproduce the embroidery, often in colour, and thus traces the history of the printing of illustrations from the middle of the eighteenth century to the opening years of the twenty-first.  Copies may be bought from the PHS at £35.00 (£20.00 to PHS members).
