Medieval Life and Leisure

Medieval Life and Leisure in the Devonshire Hunting Tapestries by Linda Woolley

The four magnificent tapestries in the V & A known as the Devonshire Hunting Tapestries are the only great fifteenth-century hunting tapestries to survive the ravages of time and they depict a lost chivalric world in rich and fascinating detail. All four tapestries are illustrated in full in lavish fold-out pages. Further, carefully chosen details from the tapestries along with illuminating text offer us a window onto the vanished world of the Late Middle Ages. A gorgeous book and very interesting read!
