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 Fawke FOWKE in the first chapter of his book on the Bayeux Tapestry published in 1875 [FOWKE 1875]. FawkeFowke'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>

== Before the 1842 Restoration==
===1767 Ducarel engravings===
Fawke FOWKE states that Ducarel republished Montfaucon's engravings along with a description of the scenes made a few years previously by Mr. Smart Lethieullier.[FAWKE FOWKE 1875]<br>
To me the drawings look more like those engraved for Lancelot's 1733 publication although they are not an exact copy of these either <br>.
