going there, know anyone there?
A main interest on mine is ancient firearms. I mean old ie. 14th 15th century old.
As it is with armor (or "armour" if you prefer:bigsmile
, a good way of getting an idea of what existed when comes from the examination of art. Recently, I found a tapestry that no author on the subject had identified as a resource. The problem (there is always a problem) is that, unlike things like the Bayeux Tapestry, there are no easily obtainable high quality images of it.
In Reims there are two tapestry's, originally part of a series of six, that currently reside in the Tau Palace in Reims are have Clovis as their subject matter. I have attached the best images that I have been able to find to show you what I am looking for.
In any event, I am hoping that someone can help me to get some good, sharp color images of the relevent areas of the tapestries.
Anyone?
