In the New Year, The Folio Society, in London, will release its limited-edition reproduction of the famous Bayeux Tapestry. By any stretch of the imagination, the edition will be remarkable. Each of the 480 numbered copies will be displayed in a custom scroll box fitted with handles that will allow for beginning-to-end viewing.
The Folio Society describes its edition as "the first ever reproduction of the entire length of the tapestry as a single image, printed continuously on a scroll around 44 metres long — roughly two-thirds the size of the original." The purchase price is expected to be approximately $2000. (For additional details, see Joe's Blog by Joe Whitlock Blundell, the production director of the society's limited edition program.)
