EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from a vaudeville performance depicting Queen Mathilda and her dedicated servants weaving the iconic Bayeux Tapestry. The coloured engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases the historical moment when Queen Mathilda, wife of William the Conqueror, oversaw the creation of this remarkable piece of needlework. Intriguingly staged on a theatrical set, this image portrays women diligently working together to recreate scenes from the Battle of Hastings through embroidery. The playfulness and vibrancy brought forth by these actors add an extra layer of charm to this already enchanting artwork. The attention to detail is evident as each servant meticulously sews intricate patterns onto fabric, bringing life to one of history's most celebrated tapestries. This portrayal not only pays homage to Queen Mathilda's role in preserving medieval history but also highlights the importance of craftsmanship and storytelling through art. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into both past and present artistic interpretations. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we continue to be captivated by Queen Mathilda's legacy and her dedication towards creating enduring works of art.
