Jeanne d'Arc, 1903
Scope and Contents
Complete series of eight postcards portraying key moments in the history of Joan of Arc. Each card has a caption indicating Joan's presence at a particular place, along with a date. The first postcard shows her dressed as a simple shepherd girl hearing mystical voices; the next five show her as the savior of France dressed in full armor, with a sword and battle standard, but with the long hair of a woman; the seventh shows her "devant ses juges" wearing a simple man's doublet; and the final card shows her forcibly returned to women's clothing, wearing a white gown while tied to the stake and licked by flames.
