===1821-1823 Stothard ===
In 1816 Charles Stothard is commissioned to make a colour copy of the tapestry. He travels to Bayeux 3 times to produce his water-colour drawing for the London Archaeological Society’s ‘Vetusta Monumenta’ published between 1821 and 1823. Stothold used stitch holes to try and fill in the missing bits and these reconstructions are included in his drawings.<br>
At least 1 part of the tapestry were removed by souvenir hunters such as Stothard. These parts were replaced by later reconstructions. <br>
Stothard records some of his observations in a letter to Samuel Lysons, Esq. in 1821. [STOTHARD 1821]<br>
