EDITORS COMMENTS
The Beginning of the Battle of Senlac (Bayeux Tapestry), c15th century, captures a pivotal moment in history. This remarkable photo print, dating back to 1902, showcases the renowned Bayeux Tapestry from the collection of the Bayeux Museum in France. The tapestry depicts the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066, where Harold Godwinson strategically positioned his army on Senlac Hill (or Senlac Ridge) in England. The image transports us to this historic location, showcasing a panoramic view of the hill and its surrounding countryside. Men clad in armor and shields can be seen gathering at the base of Senlac Hill, preparing for battle under King Harold II's leadership. Their determined expressions reflect their commitment to defend Britain against French invaders. This print not only provides a glimpse into an important military conflict but also serves as a testament to artistic excellence. The intricately woven threads that form the Bayeux Tapestry showcase both British and French craftsmanship from centuries ago. As we delve into this piece from Social England edited by H. D. Traill and J. S. Mann, we are reminded of how geography shapes history and how battles fought on specific landscapes become etched into our collective memory. This print is not just an artifact; it is a portal through time that allows us to witness one of Britain's defining moments.
