A project to reproduce Battle Museum's sketchbook sized Stothard prints of the Bayeux Tapestry into interpretation to cover an 18m stretch of wall at Battle Station. As the prints were a) delicate and b) valuable it was impossible to scan them, instead the six scenes were painstakingly photographed in controlled conditions and the subsequent 144 images stitched together manually in Photoshop. A real challenge was the final scene of Harold's Death, here the Stodhard print had actually been cut and trimmed for mounting, meaning the scene was in two parts and due to the trim, didn't overlap. In this case there is a 5cm vertical strip that had to be entirely fabricated in Photoshop from existing bits of the prints. A surrounding design was then added - sourcing a typeface similar to the Bayeux tapestry and layering a composite illustration to give the effect of cloth and deep shading to set off the prints.
