High Quality Images of the Bayeux Tapestry?

[Scott Anderson]

I'm looking for high-quality images of the Bayeux tapestry suitable for printing or using as a digital resource. So far I can only find tiny images, hardly big enough for old duffers to see. 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

wikimedia has some 4k images of the tapestry. Not the whole tapestry, of course.

scroll down the page until you get to the "media" subsection

Just for amusement: I figure the overhead for creating your own reproduction of the tapestry might run $5,000. Grab some high quality scans, use software to automatically convert them into layered embroidery files, then buy yourself a fancy automatic embroidery machine that will "print" the files.

Depending on how much time it takes to watch over the project, you might even be able to set a price and sell enough copies to make your money back!
