Title sums it up. I've got a few pictures of 15th century flemish tapestries from museums that I've visited (particuarly the one of Titus Conquering Jerusalem in New York, though I wish I'd got the whole thing), but I was wondering what books have the best reproductions (preferably but not necessarily in colour) of tapestries that show arms and armour, preferably in a more realistic 'contemporary' style rather than the faux-antique look that seems popular around this time.
I ask because I remember someone posting a tapestry that showed Trajan with a tiny poleaxe-like weapon a while back.
