About the book >.>.> The purpose of this book is to produce a complete colour reproduction of the Tapestry to the highest present-day standards and to summarize the state of knowledge concerning it. The book is avowedly synthetic particularly as the notes and record photographs taken by the Sous-Direction des Monu- ments Historiques at the time of the re-hanging in 1982 have not yet been made publicly available. It is to be emphasized that the Tapestry as seen today has been much repaired over the centuries particularly at both ends that it is almost certain that the final scene is missing and that anyone who examines the original will see obvious repairs and reconstructions throughout.
