This vintage postcard features a detailed black and white depiction of a scene from the famous Queen Mathilda Tapestry, also known as the Bayeux Tapestry. The image shows medieval knights on horseback, accompanied by Latin inscriptions and decorative border motifs including mythical creatures and crosses, which are characteristic elements of this historic embroidery. The tapestry scene portrays Conan, Duke of Brittany, declaring war against William, with a narrative in both French and English below the image.Printed in a classic postcard format with multilingual headers, this item is an unposted collectible card measuring the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches. The card likely dates from the early to mid 20th century and captures a significant piece of medieval European history and artistry. Its monochrome print style and clear text make it a valuable piece for collectors interested in historical art, medieval history, or French heritage. The stamped name "LOUIS LOTT." on the back adds a unique touch, possibly referencing the publisher or previous owner.
