The New World Tapestry, which in its entirety measures 267 ft × 4 ft (81.3 × 1.2 m), consists of twenty-four panels,[REF][REF] each of which depicts the narrative of a particular phase in the period between 1583 and 1642.
The figures of the tapestry are rendered in an unmistakably modern, cartoon-like style, but it also follows in the tradition of Tudor and Jacobean canvas work embroidery.
