The Bayeux Tapestry: Limited Edition

Plot

By special permission of the City of Bayeux and the Bayeux Museum, the first continuously printed reproduction of the Bayeux Tapestry

The Bayeux Tapestry is without parallel anywhere in the world. Nearly a millennium since the Tapestry’s original production, The Folio Society has now created the first truly successful reproduction of this spectacular and complex artefact.

Presenting the Tapestry at 60% of its actual size in a custom-made scroll box – allowing for fluid, uninterrupted viewing – The Bayeux Tapestry is available in a limited edition of 480 copies, each numbered and accompanied by a certificate of limitation.

43 metres long, and printed on mica-coated paper with astonishing detail and fidelity to the original, the scroll box comes fully assembled, with separate attachable legs. It is operated manually by handles set in the front of the box.

Set in a hardwood frame, the shatterproof glass through which the scroll is viewed is lead-free for maximum colour fidelity.
