EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the famous Bayeux Tapestry, a remarkable piece of wool embroidery on linen dating back to the 11th century. Titled "Here is Wadard" this section of the tapestry depicts a pivotal moment in history—the events leading up to the Norman invasion and conquest of England in 1066. Created by unknown artists, it is believed that English women, possibly from Kent, sewed this masterpiece based on a Norman brief. The scene portrayed captures Norman knights, including Wadard himself, pillaging the countryside as they gather animals for a grand feast organized by Duke William of Normandy. The intricate details and vivid colors bring to life this significant period in time when King Harold met his demise at the Battle of Hastings. Every stitch tells a story—showcasing not only the bravery and power of these medieval armies but also highlighting elements such as armor, axes, horses, shields, and even zoomorphic designs. This extraordinary work exemplifies both artistic skill and historical significance. Currently housed at Musee de la Tapisserie in Bayeux, France; this photograph allows us to appreciate every thread meticulously woven into this iconic tapestry. It serves as an invaluable window into our past—a testament to human creativity and resilience during times of conflict and conquest.
