{{Manuscripts}}This article aims to detail the reproductions made of the Bayeux Tapestry primarily before its restoration in the mid 19th century. The history of the Tapestry is largely covered by FOWKE Fowke in the first chapter of his book on the Bayeux Tapestry published in 1875 [FOWKE 1875]. Fowke's text is the basis of most published authors accounts of the Tapestry's history and this article is no exception. The following scene numbers correspond to the plate numbers in David Wilson's 'The Bayeux Tapestry' [WILSON 1985].<br>

Hicks, I think more correctly, attributes the engravings to those published by Lancelot in 1732. Apparently the French ambassador, Duc de Nivernois, was instrumental in getting permission for this [HICKS 2006:p.86] <br>.

In 1875 Frank Fowke also publishes the photos (I think) in his ‘The Bayeux Tapestry’.<br>
