The Devonshire Hunting Tapestries are among the most famous surviving examples of late medieval tapestry art. They are a set of four enormous 15th-century tapestries, now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Dating from before the middle of the fifteenth century, their great size and the vigour of their design, conceived entirely without perspective, give them their unique interest. It has been claimed that they are to be associated with Henry VI's marriage to Margaret of Anjou; this and their attribution to the looms of Arras are here discussed. Also their place in the chronology of tapestry design, a section which is illustrated with eighteen of the finest secular pieces between 1400 and 1521. A chapter on the practices of medieval hunting and hawking adds colour to the scenes which are here described; the commentary on the notable costume worn by the lords and ladies who take the field is supplemented with a d.…
