The Ruth Enlow Library will host a lecture about The Bayeux Tapestry by artist and designer Dolores M. Andrew. “The Bayeux Tapestry, which was stitched over 900 years ago to commemorate the Battle of Hastings, is not actually a tapestry, but a very old embroidery,” noted Dolores. “In 58 colorful scenes, the Embroidery tells the story of events leading up to the meeting of English King Harold and his cousin William of Normandy in battle in 1066. The Embroidery is located in Bayeux, a small town about 20 miles from the Normandy Beachheads, and is the major attraction of that community.”
Dolores will share details about the Embroidery, which she examined on a visit there, along with observations about the stitches, the central characters, and the eleventh century world that created this 230 foot-long masterpiece. “Since I am an embroiderer, said Dolores, “many of my points will be from the angle of a stitcher. I'll share my scale model of the whole embroidery at the end of the talk, in addition to other visuals.
